Just to top it off a good renaissance costume needs a muffin cap.

This is an out of print pattern I have in my collection McCall's 4806 medieval and renaissance hats.  I made view D the muffin cap and added some bling with silver and black gimp braid, brown velvet ribbon and an ostrich feather. You can curl feathers using the back of closed scissors and running the blade long the feather's spine.

This hat has a band and a large circle of fabric to form the crown. I had to piece the crown together using to semi circles as I wanted to use up scraps of materials left over the skirt. I made a small pocket in the trim to hold the feathers and stitched the pocket closed to hold the feathers in place.
