"She" looks beautiful--so simple and elegant. What are the fabrics, do you
know?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have not gone to se it yeat, but my guess is that it is made of red velvet
with gold.
The sleaves and the underdress i dont know!
There is a portrait of her in that dress, but it only shows a little of the
gown.
She was the mother of our later king Christian IV, who builded many castles
in Denmark. There is a saying about her birth of Christian. It was a very
hot summers day, and she had ordered herself and some maids over to a little
island lying just besides the Frederiksborg Castle. She came into labours,
and gave birth to Christian there on the island.
