Nice gown. It looks a little washed away though on The Virgin Queen.

Costume Commentary
Nice gown. It looks a little washed away though on The Virgin Queen.
The Italian Woman – Jean Plaidy, next book to “Madame Serpent”, up here…
Perhaps we didn’t notice it before because it was photoshopped into yellow… But the pattern in the bodice is quite particular…
And Anne of Denmark’s necklace (“King James’ Bible…”) it was also seen in:
Kelly McDonald as Isabel Knollys in “Elizabeth” (1998)
Joanne King as Jane Boleyn in “The Tudors”
“The Queen’s Fool”, by Philippa Gregory.
“Innocent Traitor”, by Alison Weir.
This costume appears in another novel by Jean Plaidy, besides “Madame Serpent”. This one belongs to the Stuart saga, and it’s called “The Murder in the Tower” (of course, it is the re-issue of a novel written in 1956)… It is enough to take a look to the bodice to make sure that it is actually the same gown…
