A Knight's Tale is a great example. I don't know much about the period,
but most of the costumes seemed okay. Except for the female lead. She stuck

I'm willing to bet that the great example Sharon is talking about is that

If we're talking about The Tudors, the Showtime (or HBO, can't keep them

Ok, I'm curious. What paintings inspired the B at T hat? And I did like
most of the costumes,(they felt right, if that makes any sense), just the
female lead's stood out to me.
I thought that white gauze hat thing was inspired by this painting:
