Don't you just love the Pop Art circles on the fabric? Shouldn't there be a cap over the hair to anchor the French hood?
UGH! WHY do they do stuff like this?

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? Tania 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.
