Perhaps I've just missed your point.  Sorry.

But the Margaret of Burgundy picture shows a bag with
the hair contained beneath it, although bigger than
the Gossaert example you gave.   Very closely related,
so far as I can see.

I've seen the portrait in person. 
It appears to me to show a large, dark, matt fabric
bag with a web/lattice of a multi-ply gold cording. 
The paint of the cord is very badly worn on the top &
back of her head, but shows fairly well towards the
bottom of the bag.

And the shape of the 'headband' parts are very close
indeed.
