Full-bottomed wigs / Allongeperücken
am 17.10.2005 von http://transblawg.eu
Further to the last entry, Ede & Ravenscroft, who supply court dress, have an FAQ:
Q: What is the difference between the judge’s bench wig and the judge’s full-bottomed wig?
A: Judges wear the bench wig when they are sitting in court. It is a short wig that is frizzed all over and has two tails at the back. The full-bottomed wig is only worn on ceremonial occasions with full ceremonial dress. It is not worn in court by judges when they are hearing a case.
