coiffe

[ kwahf ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

, coiffed, coiff·ing.

Great black eyes and a massive coiffe of raven-black hair topped off her charms.

The unmarried woman who adopts this coiffe must wear the ties hanging over the shoulders.

The dress accompanying this singular coiffe and coiffure has a large yellow pice, with sleeves to match.

The secret of their fame is interpreted by her in the stereotyped remark, "C'est la coiffe!"

This severity of feature she aggravated by pinning her coiffe low over a forehead as uncompromising as a nun's.
