About the Costume

This red Tudor gown was designed for Glenda Jackson’s portrayal of Elizabeth in the wonderful 1971 miniseries Elizabeth R. The gown was loosely based on a painting by William Scrots of Elizabeth as a young princess. 

The dress went on to be used in the 2000 documentary Elizabeth: The Acclaimed Saga of England’s Virgin Queen, where Imogen Slaughter wore it. Interestingly, the dress appears to have been made over to resemble a more accurate representation of the gown Elizabeth wore in the Scrots portrait. The partlet was removed, pearls and jewels were added to the neckline, and new sleeves (from the coronation gown from Elizabeth R) were added, among other changes. 

The dress would be seen the following year in another documentary – The Six Wives of Henry VIII, where an uncredited actress wore it as Princess Elizabeth. It was worn by yet another uncredited actress portraying the princess in 2003’s Henry VIII, and in 2007 it was spotted on the cover of a reissue of a 1944 Margaret Irwin novel entitled Young Bess. Finally, in 2008 it was worn by Elisabeth Rees as Princess Mary Tudor in The Twisted Tale of Bloody Mary. 

The gown went up for auction at Bonhams in 2009, where it sold on June 16th for $1126. The auction listing describes the gown as:

A rust-colored gown, of patterned velvet, edged with gold braid and pearl and jewel effect beads, having large, turned back cuffs, revealing watered silk lining, and further lace sleeves, with boned bodice and laced back, together with a kirtle forepart of brown silk effect fabric with orange embroidered design.

Costume Commentary

  1. It looks like this dress (or a double?) might have been on an extra in this new (2013) Mary Stuart Movie by Thomas Imbach with Camille Rutherford in the leading role: The picture was shared on the movie’s facebook page.

  2. If someone is interested, I’ve made a list in GoodReads with the best red/pink dresses in covers. It’s name is “Fair is the Red Rose” 

  4. This pattern is the exact same one that simplicity is doing right now. 2589 pattern number. Right down to even the undersleeves… very popular dress!

  5. I’m not sure if this is the same dress or not, it’s not a great picture of the dress it’s self. This is the cover of either a movie or book the title translate to”Sister of the Queen” so I think it may belinked to “The Other Boleyn Girl”.It also could be thebeautiful red gownthat was made for Lalla Ward in the film Crossed Swords. But the jewels on the neckline are different.

    • I know it is a little bit late to ask, but, could you post a picture of the book, or at least tell me the original title? If there’s a book cover with a pretty dress in its covers, there I go, I’m sure I can figure out the original title…if you didn’t already, of course
