The women wore long trains to their dresses
These trains were shortened
Sleeves became long, hanging and embroidered or fringed
Women's dresses on becoming shorter were trimmed in the most costly manner
The head-dresses of women consisted of very large rolls, surmounted by a high conical bonnet
They began to uncover the neck and to wear necklaces
Women's dress was described as follows: "In this year (1487)," says the chronicler Monstrelet, "women ceased to wear trains, substituting for them trimmings of grebe, of martens' fur, of velvet, and of other materials, of about eighteen inches in width; some wore on the top of their heads rolls nearly two feet high, shaped like a round cap, which closed in above. Others wore them lower, with veils hanging from the top, and reaching down to the feet. Others wore unusually wide silk bands, with very elegant buckles equally wide, and magnificent gold necklaces of various patterns"
The principal characteristic of female dress at the time was its fullness
Catherine de Medici introduced the fashion of ruffs and small collars
Women's dresses which were tight at the waist began to be made very full round the hips, by means of large padded rolls and by an arrangement of padded whalebone and steel, which subsequently became paniers
