I have not seen the movie but if you are speaking of the dark gold gown, the head piece is a bouquet(?) of white and speckled feathers. Gowns can be seen here http://www.costumersguide.com/cr_elizabeth2.shtml
De -----Original Message----- Before I went to see the movie there was talk of the costumes on another list I'm on of people that went to see it. I agree with what was said about the lace on the collars of the ladies that they looked like dolies. I did not care for the flower that was on Cate Blanchetts head when Raleigh entered the court. The fabrics were OK, but I think they needed more ornimation--jewels, pearls, etc-- espically if it was a court gown. I mean when Elizabeth was on the throne later in life her dresses became more eloborate. The white gown she wore after the destruction of the Armada wasn't bad close to what might have been worn. There was also the mention of zipper tabs being able to be seen on a few pieces, but I had a hard time spotting them. If they're there someone might be able to spot them when the DVD comes out and you watch it on your computer to get a really close look.
