The corsets looked wrong to me, because they covered the hips, which is a
Victorian thing. And the lines were Victorian also, although I have seen
some things in Moda a Firenze that show a less stiff bodice line in Italy.
Also, No chemises! (A pet peeve (among many) with "The Tudors"  show on
Showtime--no one would wear their costly,
difficult-if-not-impossible-to-wash gowns next to their skin! Plus it would
have made things much easier on the costume crew-just wash the chemises.)
The animation is awesome, though. I'll have to check with my son and see if
he's planning on getting this one.

Actually, been looking at it again (hell, the work is too boring to do) and
think it is the Durer-looking thing with the wrong corset silhouette. Maybe
they watched Princess Diaz in Shrek,
