As was mentioned in the [linked] article about pointy shoes, poulaines, the fashions back then hung around for a long long time. With the absence of fashion magazines, movies, ability to read (and IT) fashions changed very very slowly as news spread slower in those days. The so called hennin was still around several hundred years later, in slightly different forms. The "Marie Antoinette" hairdo of the early 1960s, hair piled high, would be a small comparison that some fashions never completely died. The hennin is mentioned by flipper as being at the height of fashion in the mid 1400s. Q.E's time was around 100 years later. Not all that much had changed.[/QUOTE]
