Oh, I see lots of nice, and some rather incorrect outfits in this movie clip. They've set the date of the movie in 1547, when Henry is old and about to die. His wife is obviously supposed to be Anne Boleyn (from the B on her necklace), who was killed by Henry's command in the 1536. The garments on the dancers range from Henrician to Elizabethan in styles. At least most of the women appear to have their heads mostly covered, and surprisingly in appropriate hoods of both English and French styles.
The yellow loose gown is more Elizabethan with the puffed sleeves, about 1560s to early 70s in style. Loose gowns were worn all through that time period, what changed were the style of the sleeves, for the most part. Btw, are you on Facebook? If so, I can get you into an Elizabethan costuming group, where one of the members has recently posted a number of Dutch images that might be of help to you.
