Description
A lot of ppl on the "Tudors" Wiki liked this dress, but I didn't. It looks much too tight on the actress (& we're not talking sexy/attractive-tight), and the necklace is really overkill. I couldn't add these in the scene-maker game, but the dress also has long, long outer sleeves that brush the ground, which is a medieval design, not a Renaissance one.The outfit doesn't look so bad on the dress-up game b/c Azalea & Doll-Divine's webmasters made all the costumes fit the model comfortably, lol. Plus when you're a cartoon, you can look like anything ^^.
According to what I read, Jane wore this in a scene in the last episode of Season 2, when Henry VIII proposes to her. Romantic as this scene was, the real-life (& tv story) cost behind it is ominous & disgusting.
Within 24 hours of Anne Boleyn's beheading, Henry VIII was engaged to Jane Seymour, and in just 11 days, they were married in a great ceremony. It makes you wonder how Jane felt to be engaged to such a monstrous monarch at the cost of another woman's life.

I honestly believe that Jane didn't care that she was engaged to Henry :/ I sometimes think that under that sweet little exterior, there was something evil and crafty. Vice versa with Anne Boleyn.
But great job with this!

It's interesting that you should notice that. Often films & TV portray her as a meek, mousy, weak-willed woman who did whatever anyone told her to do; but in my reading of "The Six Wives of Henry VIII," Alison Weir notes some interesting facts about how Jane arranged her household. Based on the strict rules she instilled with her maids and servants, it's possible she was actually as conniving and scheming as her relatives, and used the "meek and obedient" personality as a screen to cover it up. We'll never really know what kind of queen the real Jane would have been, seeing as she died so soon after her wedding & birth of her son.

Wow, really? I didn't know that! Well that raises my curiousity more.. Hm. Well like they say, it's always the one you least expect. Was it confirmed that Jane loved Henry?

No. There are no real historical records indicating Jane's feelings either way.

Well there we have it.
People who are Jane fans may disagree, but honestly I'd like to think that the pure Catholic queen was really a schemer.

I wanted the dress to look right, and a lot of effort went into making it look accurate. I wasn't able to settle with the necklaces the game had, so there you are

It's easier when you set up a basic shape. Like with the B for Anne's necklace. I did the "spine" of the B first, so that it was just the right length, and then worked on the 2 loops to the right side of the letter. Then I added the 3 little teardrop pearls at the bottom. (I would LOVE to have a necklace just like that, but with the letter of my first name instead
If you do it bead-by-bead from the start of the neck down, you end up with the wrong shape for the necklace. I usually set up a basic "shape" to create an open framework using just a few beads & then fill in the blanks. Making jewelry, headdresses, & clothing pieces is SO much easier that way.

That would be so kool to own! Lol. I wouldnt ever take it off xD
But Ill deffinatly try that next time!
I think you can ask a jeweler to make you one?

Or you can make it yourself. You just need to know the right length for yourself & have the right beads/jewels (usually fake unless you're rich).
If you have the $$, you can ask a custom-jeweler to make a necklace for you, yes. Either that or you can pay a crafts-person who sells them online to do a commission for you

This is my favorite dress Jane wears. And I see what you mean when you say it looks too tight. It sort of seems like the dress is too small for her.

They were probably trying to make Jane look sexy for the King, tho I think they were trying too hard. It's a lovely color, but really, he was already attracted to her.

Yeah, I know what your talking about. Maybe they possibly thought that they needed to TRY to make her look just a liiiittttllleee provocative. I can see that through certain people's eyes, a dress that's too small (much like that) could be provocative
