HA! The German hairstyle and covering I prefer (seen on me in the upper left) and the style dress I should be wearing with that headgear (to the left). The tied kerchief seen with the wool kirtle (above) or a piece of linen wrapped like a turban are both more appropriate for the French/Burgundian style of these kirtles. The German dress of the time has some lovely little details (seen sometimes with almost assiette style arm settings and gathers at the center front and back). It's on my list!
