I pulled the veil off of the Celebrations updo, smoothed out the lump from the hair it was attached to and turned it into an accessory. It can be used with some of Walter's crowns and some of mine.

I also made a Flemish Hood using reference photos from Kat's Hats.

Both accessories are for teen to elder.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, RL things are oh so complicated right now.

I was going to make hair versions with no visible hair but couldn't decide if I wanted them in the hair bin or not. I like the shape of them but wasn't sure if they would work for men too.

No worries, RL comes first! And aha! I've seen one of those on a Sim and it's been something I'd hoped for as an accessory (partly because I've seen them worn over wimples like the Clubkitty/Marja hijab or your Nun/Noble veils without the veils).

A quick bit of research (skimming over a couple of blogs where I know I've seen hoods like those) suggest they were women's headgear rather than unisex, but I'm tempted to point out that while Androgyny menfolk have a couple of gown meshes to wear, they don't have any headcoverings that fit them.

*hems and haws and wants hats, but is waiting on some feedback for a Big Trade-Off project first*

I'll go ahead and make them for both genders as accessories :)

What's going on at Big Trade-Off? I haven't been there in ages.

Well, on my end, I offered to make a bunch of Piggi-wood recolors of an ATS nursery for somebody if she made some, um. Child-conversions of Perfect Tunics for me. *sheepish* Also a couple of shoe/sleeve swaps for all ages that hadn't happened yet, because I'm not a fan of the Robin Hood shoes, but I still feel sheepish.

(On the other hand, I'm one pregmorph, a teen conversion, and four horrifying frankenmeshes away from being able to put ALL the Medieval meshes I plan to recolor into one big bundle for Bodyshape conversion purposes.)
