No, your theory can still hold. I think Red Hen wrote about just the same thing in one of his essays. JKR didn't research the clothing styles. It was just a quick sketch that she did. The movies just followed her lead.
This slip shod handling of historical consistency and world building are one of the pet peeves of a lot of fans. Just ignore it. I think your historical parallels with the War of the Roses is very apt.
I keep trying to debate that the WW is a world built on aristocracy, privilege and is currently experiencing a social breakdown. Most don't see it.
