Good God, what is that thing made of? It looks like it's sewn from modern fabric with gold lame painted spots on it. No, wait a minute...I think it's just feathers spattered with gold paint. Either way, I second what you said about it.

Heaven knows I didn't, since I'd seen the first "Elizabeth" movie by the same director. It's kind of a pity there was no real interest in authenticity, since the neck ruffs seem to have been nicely done, judging by the pictures you referenced in your post. If the right people had cared, this movie could have been at least visually splendid. -- Cathy Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."-- Mark Twain _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
