What kind of embroidery? Blackwork? If your daughter is trying to be Elizabeth I as a Princess then you are looking at early Tudor styles for women. Some children in portraits of the 1500s. http://www.tudor-portraits.com/UnknownChild1.jpg 1590 http://www.tudor-portraits.com/UnknownChild1.jpg 1575-80 http://www.tudor-portraits.com/ArabellaStewart.jpg 1577 http://www.tudor-portraits.com/WilliamBrooke.jpg 1567 http://www.tudor-portraits.com/UnknownChild7.jpg 1545 Florence http://www.tudor-portraits.com/Bia.jpg 1542 http://www.tudor-portraits.com/UnknownChild6.jpg 1541 French/German? http://www.tudor-portraits.com/TBJacquelineBourgogne.jpg 1530
As for roses, this is a partlet and sleeves not a shift but good for inspiration http://www.tudor-portraits.com/HelenaSnakeborg.jpg De -----Original Message----- Hi all, I'd like to embroider some Tudor roses on a shift and I cannot draw, really cannot draw. So I would like to know if there is somewhere on-line I can find black and white line drawings of Tudor roses, preferably the five petal kind. Books with this kind of line drawing would also be great. Other Tudor flowers suitable for embroidery would also be of interest for later but I would like to get started on the roses soon.
