That dress I want that I mentioned in my last post

This is the gown from the Elizabeth: The Golden Age trailer that I want. I know it has next to no basis in history but its pretty and I *need* pretty.




It looks like she has a big bow on her lap, embroidered in gold? The dress is probably moire silk in pale blue. The gown doesn't look to have straps and the partlet/sleeves are most likely organza. Maybe I'll add pink and blue "puffed" straps to the gown just so it will be less of a snark target?

That's actually kinda what I was thinking. Take the "bow" and make it into wide strips of gold embroidered trim on either side. The top part of the bow could be a peplum (like on the doublets of the time) if I really wanted to keep the gold fringe.
I know they had lots of smaller bows during the Elizabethan age on either side of the forepart but I haven't seen a big bow like this one and I have no idea where the costumer got her inspiration for it. However, I love light blue and this is just too pretty with some tweaking!
