July 2002
Based heavily on the costume interpretation in the movie "Elizabeth" starring Cate Blanchet. The original portrait (painted some time after Elizabeth's actual coronation) looks to be a high necked gown rather than low as seen in the movie and my gown. I used a pair of recycled curtains and fully lined the gown in the calico backing the curtains came with.
