Description

Her coronation on 15th January 1559 was an impressive, expensive celebration. Elizabeth gladly received flowers and congratulations from ordinary people in the street – just like our queen does today. A carpet was laid down for Elizabeth to walk on to Westminster Abbey, and people cut out pieces as mementos of the day. Elizabeth could no longer put off Mary’s execution. She was found guilty of treason and beheaded in 1587. Italian Dress of the late Renaissance (1470-1540) Includes instructions for drafting an early 16th c. Italian bodice To complete her appearance, the Queen would wear accessories such as a fan, a pomander to ward off foul smells (and it was thought infection), Photos of many beautiful Elizabethan Gowns, articles on 16th c. Decoration, hat patterns, and more.

Finally, it was Elizabeth’s turn. The third of Henry’s children to inherit the throne, she was to reign for much longer than her half-brother and half-sister.

The Armada Portrait 

In 1601, near the end of her reign, Elizabeth gave what is known as the ‘ Golden Speech‘ to her politicians. In it she expressed her love for her country and subjects, and said, “ There is no jewel, be it of never so high a price, which I set before this jewel; I mean your love.” Who succeeded Elizabeth I?

For the outdoors, the Queen would wear rich velvet cloaks, gloves of cloth or leather, and in warm weather, she would wear hats to Missa's useful collection of articles on patterning and dressmaking, a number of dress diaries, and useful tools (including Dial-a-Dress!) By the early 1600s, Elizabeth’s health had been failing for some time. Frail and melancholy over the deaths of many of her close friends and advisors, she would stand for hours, refusing to rest. She was balding, had bad breath due to her rotting teeth – eww! – and spent a lot of her time expressing regret over decisions she’d made during her reign – especially the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. The Renaissance ideal of beauty was fair hair, a pallid complexion, bright eyes and red lips. Elizabeth was tall and striking, with pale skin and light red-gold hair. She exaggerated these features, particularly as she aged, and other women sought to emulate them. She knew that her actions and image formed her identity, which in turn became a symbol for England. During her reign Elizabeth’s image was carefully engineered to convey wealth, authority and power, both at home and abroad. Dress and social status

The Armada Portrait

Elizabeth had a pretty tough upbringing. When she was just two years old, her father had her mother beheaded – yikes! – and Elizabeth removed from the line of succession (her right to inherit the throne). She also had her title downgraded from ‘Princess’ to ‘Lady’. Aww, poor little thing… The cause of her death was never determined. But whilst no theory has been proven, many people think Elizabeth may have had blood poisoning from the make-up she wore. Make-up in the Tudor era was full of toxic ingredients such as lead – and Elizabeth famously wore a lot of it! What is Elizabeth I remembered for?

But t hankfully, Elizabeth proved to be a more tolerant ruler than Mary and tried to make England a fairer place for everyone.

Mary’s execution angered Catholics in Europe. The Pope encouraged King Philip II of Spain to invade England, remove Elizabeth and make the country Catholic again.

Elizabeth I: fashion and beauty

Born 7th September 1533, Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. Henry already had a daughter, Mary– Elizabeth’s half-sister – with his first wife Catherine of Aragon. The ‘Babington Plot’ sought to overthrow Queen Elizabeth and place Mary, Queen of Scots on the throne. Despite her feelings, she was not short of offers! Many men proposed but Elizabeth always kept them waiting. This meant she could get the support she needed from them and keep them loyal, too!
