Why is it that every time I’m sick at home, Anne of a Thousand Days<\/a><\/em> is always on cable? Of course, I have to watch it. Richard Burton is a kingly, studly Henry, and the movie’s portrayal of Anne Boylen is smart and sympathetic without being too sentimental, even though it’s all a big fat gooshy love story. The locations and costumes are pretty darn cool too.<\/p>\n

And that got me to thinking about my Renaissance gown. No, don’t want Tudor, definitely Elizabethan. Which made me get out the Elizabeth<\/em> (Cate Blanchett) DVD for some costume porn. I still want that black and silver gown<\/a> badly, but I don’t think that style will best suit the burgundy fabric I have. If I’m ever to do that gown, it should be black and silver with bucketloads of beading and the pretty little crown thing, since that’s what I love about it.<\/p>\n

Looked thru my books and found that Janet Arnold is utterly boring for this era. But Hunnisett isn’t bad. In fact, the pattern for Elizabeth’s Darnley<\/a> bodice looks like a very promising start for what I want.<\/p>\n

I’ve waffled back and forth between low and nigh necked bodices, but I *think* (at least right now!) that I want a high-necked doublet-style bodice. I think. Probably. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

What I’m starting to be very tempted by is the 1580s. It’s a charmingly weird decade! That’s when sleeves start to get big and poufy, but the skirts aren’t yet into the nasty wheel farthingale shape that I think looks absolutely dumb as rocks. Also, they go ruff crazy in the ’80s. Sure, all of Elizabeth’s reign was ruff-happy, but ruffs get BIG in the ’80s. The whole ‘head-on-a-plate’ look happens — and yeah, it’s just as goofy a look as the wheel farthingale, but it’s the goofy look I prefer \ud83d\ude09 C’mon, everybody has their own peculiar faves!<\/p>\n

So I started staring at that portrait of Lettice Knollys<\/a>. I love her sleeves. Double up on the bigness! I think I want that for me. This portrait<\/a> has more 1580s goodness, as does this one of Elizabeth<\/a>, which is useful because it’s full-length, and you can see that the skirts are not yet in the icky wheel farthingale.<\/p>\n

Ninya Mikhaila has a few 1590s gowns<\/a> and this one 1588 costume<\/a>, but that one doesn’t have the best pix. I can’t find any other reproductions of 1580s gowns online. Overall, it appears not to be a very popular decade for ren-wear, and that’s really appealing to me.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, I don’t mind if I’m doing a fussy bustle gown and everyone else is also doing fussy bustle gowns. But sometimes, I want to do something different from the pack. Sure, I always put my own stamp on whatever costume I do, I’m no good at precise recreations anyway. But making something that’s just that much more different is fun. I think I’ll stake my claim to 1580s for a moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
