I wont say I am an expert or anything but those costumes are kinda
cheesy.
That pattern in the fabric screams poly to me, it is definitely not
period, and that ladder lacing up the front with the stomacker is
stolen from some italian city ;-). Not period at all.
The attifets? are awful. the crescent is not long enough and should
cover their hair and go more down to their ears. I wonder if they
glued natalies on, looks like it just sits there.
The profile is pretty good though as long as you don't look at them
closely.
I am however looking forward to seeing the movie sometime, since that
is a period that does interest me.
Are padded pleats period for tudor, thought they were later?

and I say:
Kinda cheesy is right. :-) It looks like they used that old Vogue
ballgown pattern from a few years back (when "Shakespeare in Love"
was all the rage) and forgot to put coifs under the French hoods [not
attifets--as you noted/questioned]. Although I admit I'm not the
local expert on French hoods! I'll probably go see the movie, but I
don't imagine my family will come with me 'cause they hate it when I
groan in the theatre, LOL.
