Description
Finally, the first of the photos from the Tudor shoot!This is the gown that Elizabeth I wore in the 1546 portrait of her. I made the entire outfit, which consists of a full kirtle (gold) with boning, over gown of red brocade, Tudor style French Hood, and a hoop skirt (the only thing I didn't make). I also hand beaded all of the trim (both on the gown and French hood), matching it to the origional portrait.
The pendant necklace and brooch were custom made by the lovely Sapphire & Sage ([link] ).
Photography by the Image Gallery.
Costume made and modeled by me.

I found this through a Google image search for "Tudor gown" and had to log in here (for the first time in about a year) to say "wow." You're really talented, as an illustrator, designer and seamstress, and you look lovely in this too.

This is a really gorgeous version of one of my favourite gowns of all time! I've always loved the colour combination used, and you picked some lovely fabrics that really show it off. The beading on the gown and hood look amazing too.
I really respect your aim to include the small details, it's always those that make a costume look it's best, and you've certainly achieved that with this one.

You look so much like the Princess Elizabeth, The gown is one of the most beautiful I have seen in ages.
My compliments.
Though I must ask how did you make the gown and hood?

If you have any other specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them

This is FABULOUS. I'm actually basing my next Renaissance Faire outfit on this same portrait!
Just a question: may I ask where you bought the farthingale? I can't seem to find any that are even slightly historically correct, and I fear I'm going to have to make that too..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! I bought my farthingale at Mary Jo's ([link] ). They're also not too terribly hard to make. For instance, you can buy the hoop boning (which is GREAT in corsets) here: [link]
Also, I'm trying to sell this costume (I really need the money). So, if you're interested in purchasing it, I'm including all the jewelry, farthingale, etc. and I'll make you a good deal.

Oh, I would love to have that outfit, but I'm also short on money - and I prefer to make my dresses myself(: It's my hobby. It's an amazing garment, though, I'm so surprised that somebody hasn't already purchased it!

I hear you, I've been short on money too and have been trying to find cheaper ways to get accessories and cloth for my new costumes ^_^;

This is really pretty! I can't tell though, does it have the separate placard?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! The placard is attached on one side and is closed with hooks and eyes on the other.

Oh, good! I couldn't tell in the pics but I'm glad you went the historical route.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course. I made sure to stay as historically accurate as possible, even in the lacing style

The amount of effort you put into this is amazing! The costume itself turned out very nice, and it's cool that you worked to put in the details
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, thanks. I have had to go back and revise/fix sooo much stuff on this costume and every time I do I say "Ugh, I'm so sick of seeing this pop back up in my sewing room >.>;" Finally though, it's done, and I'm happy with it.
I really wanted to keep all the small details that the portrait had, because I've seen so many historical reproduction costumes etc. that get the main points, but ignore all the cool little stuff (ignore it because it's rather a pain in the backside to add on).

Thank you! I have more pictures from this shoot that I was considering uploading, so I'll find a few shots of the front and details to put on DA (my brother had the same suggestion as you).
