The fact that the more "Realistic" a work about medieval Europe pretends to be the less likely you are to see actual medieval women's headwear is a kind of fun dynamic

    Even as a gay man I can appreciate that people like boobas on wenches. I don’t even mind. I don’t even think most women mind.
    But you gotta put in some ridiculous cod pieces too.

    But more importantly i want hennins.

      Does wearing two hennins in front, Madonna style, count?

        You’re thinking of an escoffion, and an escoffion counts.

        Edit: Or you’re thinking of a bisected/divided hennin which also obviously counts.
