Making a coif

So, for the big gold frock I wanted a coif like these. I tried to get the latticed effect with two strand of gold, and it looked good, but wasn't quite what I was expecting.
So I thought this time I might put all that grossgrain ribbon to work. I'm pulling the edges together every 5 cm, and I'll lay them lattice-style and see what happens.

I'm not convinced by it yet, guess I won't know until I've done enough to make some lattice. I'm worried it will be a bit bulky. Perhaps it would best be done with a thinner ribbon. Perhaps I need another visit to Greenfields...?
