My friend saw those costumes in person some years back. They were mostly
made of muslin and painted to look like velvets, etc. She said they were
amazing!

That's it exactly. 

I've concluded that since they're making up the
"history" they might as well make up the costumes too.
I've also stopped trying to watch it, and picked up a
fresh DVD copy of Keith Michell's Six Wives of Henry
VIII from the 70s. What a joy to watch. That show was
on a limited budget, and yet everything looks (from
camera distance) perfect! I feel much better now.
