Another reason why diamonds were represented in paintings as black is because diamonds were often painted with black on the backs with the effect of giving them a black lustre. They didn't have the sparkle or fire of even a rose cut (which came in around 1550) but they were still fascinating to the eye.
“Queen Katherine”
Haha which one?
Eleanor Garrity oohhh. Henry is gonna need some ice for that burn😂
Sophia Merka OUUUUCCCCCCHHHHHHHHH
The fifth one, Katherine Howard (1524-1542)
😄😂😂😂
@Rosida Andriyana Really? Some of us "yanks" [I'm from the South, so that is an insult] know about Katherine of Aragon, Katherine Howard and Katherine Parr, who were all Tudor queens, so that is a legitimate and non-stupid question
A charming young lady. The outfit is beautiful.
I would like to try wearing a Tudor gown even for just one day
I bought one. Its arriving to my house tomorrow! Beautiful details in picture, a tad bit expensive because of the cheap-ish material in the middle but I don’t mind, I’m sure it will look wonderful on me. It only came in my size, too! I’m just feeling absolutely lucky.
(It’s based off of one of Anne Boleyns portrait dresses)
Welp. It wasn’t that good. I wish I could have a proper gown, apparently as I’m still under 18 I live with my parents and therefore they decide which one I get- they got me a fancy dress one-
I’ve made a one and am making my second one now. But having trouble working out what pleats are used to make the skirts stick out nicely without a bum roll. Lol.
@Hungry Bookworm i ended up going with padded cartdige pleats as i used too much fabric in the skirts. you might be better off doing thick cartridge pleats with just 6 or 8.
The gown was amazing! What a fun experience for a student to be a part of. Lucy is the best!!
Only recently I discovered Lucy Worsley’s documentaries: love them!
I hope Lucy is happy. I truly feel she deserves to be happy. I absolutely adore her.
And if she's not, I'm coming over to bring her back to America. No guarantee she'll be happy but WE SHALL BE... and all will be forgiven! Cheers !
That French hood was put on improperly ! :P
Thats what happens when you have only one lady in waiting and its done 500 years after the fashion has passed.
That was my first thought too!
It was put on by the chief curator and historian of Historic Royal Palaces, she runs the tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, kew Palace, Kensington palace and banqueting House. She is one of the best know historians in the UK and is responsible for the collections and restorations of some our most important heritage. While I would agree that it looks odd, I doubt very much that she "did it wrong"
Going by painting from the era she most definitely did put it on wrong, the French hood sits mid section on the head and there would a sizable amount of hair between the edge of the hood and the forehead
Just because of person holds a position doesn’t make them infallible, look at how many doctors miss diagnosis a patient, or the police break into a house that’s not the correct target
Ah! How lovely and charming the little model, Scarlett is in her regal finery!
Lucy makes boring history fun. Much needed in these days.
Lovely. I wish I could wear a dress like that time period for a couple hours.
I am making them by hand😇😊👍🤝
I love all of Lucy Worsley's documentaries. That gown was so amazing. It had to have been such a treat for a student to be a part of this documentary. Lucy, you are the best!
Why does it feel like there are some layers missing? or did they just skip some layers because the girl is wearing a uniform?
Jessica Lamont she is missing pieces....she is missing corset and chemise....i do this for fun....lol...im in a guild that does celtic fairs....mary queen of scots court.....
Stacie Meade Sounds like fun. When I saw the outfit, it just seemed like there were items that were missing, even though I wasn't completely sure.
Separate corsets did not appear until later in the 1500s. They evolved from the kirtle bodice, which was usually made with a layer of linen buckram and reinforced with reeds.
Jessica your talking English. remember their ten to fifteen years behind France and Italy.
Jessica Lamont
Yes there were some missing, but I just assume they weren't going to make her get completely undressed. The correct order of dressing would have been, putting on your stockings and shoes, your chemise would have already been on since it was your underwear, then your petticoat which usually always was a red color for health, then farthingale if you wanted to wear one, then your kirtle, your gown, then the fore sleeves and lastly your girdle, jewels and headdress.
I find it kind of funny how the person in the background is standing there with their foot agents the door
It's clearly a school and she is standing there to stop any kids coming down the corridor and interrupting the filming. A sign outside the door would have been better but I get the feeling this video was rather impromptu, probably when Lucy was visiting a school sometime.
Ah, I see what you mean. I agree that a sign would of helped but I also think that people still would've continuously went in and out of the hall regardless of a sign. I apologize if this comment sounds rude in any way
Any one watch the guard at the back door?
I liked the video but I was a bit distracted by the guy in the background.
Just hanging out and guarding the door lol
buttons don't exist? maybe not in england/europe but i'm pretty sure buttons had been invented by the 1500s
Buttons were very popular in England in 14th century. So I'm not sure why she said they didn't exist?? Maybe she meant they weren't in style...? Not sure.
@@applehearts996 Women’s garments didn’t really use them as a functional item until the 1800s:
Beautiful fabric and cosy and warm in cold England.
I want to buy a Tudor gown
Beautiful. I remember when I was 11, being fascinated by a Tudor black velvet gown left behind by Elizabeth I after her visit to Sudeley Castle, when my family visited there. It was so tiny it would have fit me perfectly.
I got the biggest crush on Lucy intelligent, funny, witty and extremely cute.
I fully understand that, B Scott, sir, but, our Lucy is a married lady.🌷
The hood....😩
I love the Tudor clothing but the music sound suspiciously
like Bach. It makes a fun little anachronism.
that is a hoop skirt the farthinggale I one in a wagonwheel shape I wear one when I do French court of Henry the 3 of France. and our directory is strict on period correct.
How delightful!
that girl wearing a tudor gown without a hood kinda reminds me of how young princess mary looks in some movies
missing all the undergarments :*(
She's beautiful!
Adorable
My problem with this video is the parts of this dress are composed of composites. THAT HOOD!!!
Buttons were invented in the 13th Century. Tudor knickers? Hood is crooked.
Things go in and out of fashion. Buttons were out of fashion in the 1500s and they used lacing or straight pins instead.
GrainneDhu OUCH!!!
Those straight pins worry me.
clare5 one Keep in mind that the pins were used on the outermost layers of clothing. There were 4 or 5 layers of fabric between the skin and the pin.
From looking at portraits of Tudor women, such as the portrait of Jane Seymour, it also seems likely that they buried the point of the pins below the fabric rather than above as most people do today.
So they were unlikely to poke themselves on the pins that held their clothing together.
There are a lot of Mennonites in the area where I grew up; the old order Mennonite women used pins in lieu of buttons (buttons were considered a temptation to vanity). They had pins running down the front of their dresses from (high) neckline to waist or hem while they did chores and tended to their small children. No one was poked.
I suspect that a lot of it is what one is used to; if the person is used to using pins as a closure, they learn to avoid being pricked.
GrainneDhu Then, to my limited experience with straight pins; having only worn them while my costumer was draping fabric on me; they demand limited movement. It amazes me that no one was poked.
One never knows until they try it.
With the state of things during the Tudor era, it just blows my mind that this delicate girl in the video would be married off to a fifty-year old man. Oh well.
Probably not. Fifty year old men would have probably died off the plague
Not always the case. Katherine of Aragon was 16 when she married 15 year old Arthur and was 11 years older than Henry i think. Anne Boleyn was 16 years younger than Henry but tried for a union with Henry Percy who was only 5 years older than her, and was promised to a James butler who was 11 years her senior. Actual royalty seemed more inclined to marry younger than others at court, and I’ve only seen a few extreme examples of such a large age difference
Edit: Catherine of Aragon was only 6 years older than henry
Usually they'd try to marry those of close age but if the king wanted your daughter then obviously you couldn't reject the match. Ofcourse it's horrible that kids are married off, happens to this day unfortunately.
@@valentinahendrick9540 Katherine of Aragon was 5-6 years older than Henry.
@@AmethystEyes you’re right, my bad.
Can I wear that every day? LOL. I am getting bored of jeans and the simple dresses we have today
She looks gorgeous :-)
Very informative and interesting!
She looks nice.
the hood is too low
Why in a hallway with contemporary chairs when Lucy Worsley is Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces?
Good lord that is not how a French hood is worn
THANK YOU!!! I see this so often even in shows and movies.
Do u know who Lucy is? 😂😂🤣
It's a little big for the young girls head
It’s long overdue that hooped skirts came back in fashion
Did it bother anybody else that they didn’t put her hair in the veil 🙄🙄😂
Haven't they skipped the chimise stockings and stays
Myles With Style 82253 It is my understanding that early Tudor period costume did not include stays. The structure and support come from the boning sewn into the kirtle (sp?).
If we're talking about the Tudor period then WHY are we listening to The Brandenburg Concerto Number 3 in G Major by Johann Sebastian Bach?🎵🎻 LOL!!
they should have found some Tudor music or at least Medieval music for this.
0:55 buttons don't exist? Really? Pretty sure they were used up the front of doublets at least...
Well, they existed but were out of fashion I think
@@user-de3xr8le6b they were very fashionable, at least for men. If you look at paintings of men from that time, they often have lots and lots of buttons up the front.
Buttons were less popular of women’s clothing, partly because they were associated with masculinity, and partly because lacings etc could cope much better with a women’s changing figure (pregnancy etc)
This is part of my homework
Who else is here for hw because of CoronaVirus
great
I want this so badly
Wouldn't catch me standing there for all of that!
Girl has the patience if Job.
sound not audible
it would be a great video otherwise!
i wish she could see if one of those dresses can fit me
Add The makeup and a do photo shoot.
The garments are really nice. Maybe too nice.
She’s so cute
She looks the part.
Two English Roses by any other name.......
Stop the music l cant understand a word....
lengggg
am I the only one who got sent here by their history teacher during quarantine:):):)
Luan Kapllani i have too :))))))))))
Whoops Lucy, Tudor England did have buttons! Otherwise totally delightful!
Tudor Queens must have had some muscle cuz that outfit looks like it had a bit of weight to it
A fine attempt at reconstructing a royal female Tudor dress
Which Catherine is she?
Charmant.
What...no stays.
Where’s the under garments?
This must be Queen Catherine of Aragon when a young lady. Am I right? 🙂
Her Majesty was such a pious Catholic, oh my lady Queen!
Salut qui es-qui regarde ça pour de l'anglais ??
Moi ;-; j’y arrive paaaas
Me parece que el tocado de la cabeza está mal colocado.
Let her try wearing that to prom.
wouldn't that make a "splash" at the prom?
NO NO NO NO NO! They wore red because it was the Tudor color.
The Tudor colours were green and white, actually. Lucy is right, but she put the hood on too low on the girl's forehead, and you would not tie a girdle in a bow.
They didn't just where red!! They wore lots of colors
I was told that the red under kirtle kept away the "evil-eye"; as that was the same reason for red kimono linings in early Japan, up to the modern era.
Did they spell better with their non uniform spelling
Their spelling was a little better than what Chaucer dealt with; in his day, each writer/typesetter spelled words as they sounded to him. Still, it would be over a century before the Table Alphabetical of Hard Words, the first attempt to regularize English spelling, came out.
Головной убор - французский чепец - надо шить хотя бы по размеру головы, а не чтобы так - как горшок сверху поставили.
I think you need to readjust the hood a bit, Lucy.....XD
понтно
That hood is seriously messing with me
la coiffe est posée n'importe comment ,
Misplaced French hood
Sweet girl but the hood was too far forward and eskew. The music is also not Tudor.
fuckin space suit
duhg
Poor Child, what did they do to you!?
The hood is not on properly, she looks silly
hoop skirts weren't even a thing until about 1750
These were farthinggales.
Ericat they had farthingales which are hooped skirts in the 1500s Catherine of Aragon came from Spain and brought the farthingales from spain
Fake
How is wearing a dress fake
