This kind of things are seen very often… To take a picture and use it to illustrate a book cover. But at least, here, with “The Boleyn Inheritance”, they chose a dress from the right period of time… And I say it because I found another example. Check:
It is the Hungarian edition of a book by Philippa Gregory, David Baldwin and Michael Jones, called “The Women of the Cousins’ War: The Duchess, the Queen and the King’s Mother” (Hungarian title: “Asszonyok a Rózsák háborújában”)…
My point is that the book is about the War of the Roses, and they took a Victorian dress to illustrate the cover when it doesn’t even belong to the historical period of that war, but nearly two centuries later …

I’ve made a list in GoodReads with the best white/silver dresses in book covers. It’s name is “Silvery White as Glass”
Well, I believe I found the image they used for the book cover. Thank you Facebook!
