Before 950AD women seem to have worn only the veil or the palla. From this date onwards veils can still be seen on women but wimples are more common. <br>

The wimple is often depicted being worn on its own. Sometimes a headband can be seen across the forehead beneath it and occasionally what could be interpreted as hair can be seen. It is likely that some kind of band, scarf or cap was worn under the wimple to help secure it.<br>
<br>
Wimples can be worn either on their own or alternatively over a veil, scarf or cap. If the wimple was worn over a veil then the veil could be what is seen emerging from the front of the wimple as two long strips. The wimple could also have been worn over a shorter scarf or cap. The wimple is made from a piece of cloth that extends no further than just past the shoulders.<br>
