Something I've been working on are the Anne of Brittany style of "French" hoods. They really are simple to create (a rectangle actually seems to be a workable base, or you can turn to Norris' Tudor book for a more shaped pattern), and work very well when worn & attached over a simple biggin or coif, with a billiment made from a string of pearls.
This is an excellent idea. I would stick with simple shapes rather than going to Norris, who is making it up. These early draped hoods are really lovely. They should actually have a tail on the back, being descended from earlier hoods with liripipes, but the style is so little-known that no one would notice the absence if you left it off and just did a plain drape.
