wimple
Convent head covering
A wimple is a cloth headdress that covers the head, chin, sides of the face, and neck, worn by women in medieval Europe and still part of the habit of certain orders of nuns.
The fabric typically drapes around the face and fastens at the neck or shoulders.
The nun adjusted her wimple before entering the chapel.
