Headwear in the Middle Ages Research in and experiments with 14th century women's headwear During the 14th century a new type of headwear became fashionable throughout Europe: a veil trimmed with several rows of frills. The headwear was known in Germany as Kruseler and Kruse dok (frilled veil) referring to it's appearance and similar terms can also be found in Scandinavia. How the frilled veils were constructed is no longer known, but examinations of contemporary art work, written accounts and textile finds may throw light on various aspects of the frilled fashions in the Middle Ages. Throughout the summer of 2006 experiments with constructions of frilled headwear at the Medieval Centre has been taking place. The kruseler research group includes scholars and specialists in medieval costume and textiles in work fields such as conservation, history, ethnology, art history, archaeology and textile work. The research group counts people from various museums, collections and universities from countries such as Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Norway, England, USA, Holland, Spain and Belgium. The research and experiments will be published by The Medieval Centre and Centre for Textile Research.
