i actually enjoyed it very much when i saw it in november... there was one particularly smart doublet ensemble that young elizabeth wears that convinced me to try to make my own elizabethan (although not a doublet gown, it figures). i think i figured out it might not be totally 100% accurate costume-wise when i heard the soundtrack (traditional-sounding but with a bit of modern instrumentation thrown in) and saw the way it was filmed (some jump cuts and shaky-camera filming, etc.) but nothing stood out to me as glaringly wrong (not that i'm an expert of course).
i liked the plainer sort of gowns that elizabeth and her ladies wore before she was crowned. they remind me a lot of the italian styles, while keeping an english feel in the corsetry and fabric. i wish i could find more examples of that style in portraiture... i guess it was too casual for portraits? or is it totally a convention of these films? -jordana On 1/20/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In a message dated 1/20/2006 8:32:41 A.M.
