Answer 5

Queen Elizabeth was a great follower of fashion. While in private she preferred to wear simple gowns, and would reputedly wear the same plain gown for two or three days, when she was in public, she dressed to impress. Clothes were an important status symbol to the Elizabethans, and a person had to dress in accordance with their social status. It was thus in keeping that the Queen dressed more magnificent than everyone else.

No one was allowed to rival the Queen's appearance, and one unfortunate maid of honour was reprimanded for wearing a gown that was too sumptuous for her. The maids were meant to complement the Queen's appearance, not to outshine her.  In the later years of the reign, the maids wore gowns of plain colours such as white or silver. The Queen had dresses of all colours, but white and black were her favourite colours as they symbolized virginity and  purity, and more often than not she wore a gown of these colours.  The Queen's gowns would be gorgeously hand embroidered with all sorts of coloured thread, and decorated with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and all kinds of jewels.

Like all aristocratic Elizabethan women, the Queen would typically wear a chemise, a corset stiffened with wood or iron, a petticoat, a fathingale, stockings, a gown, sleeves, and a neck ruff an A book entitled Queen Elizabeth's wardrobe unlockedd wrist ruffs. With the discovery of starch, ruffs became even more elaborate.

  

To complete her appearance, the Queen would wear accessories such as a fan, a pomander to ward of  foul smells and it was thought infection, earrings, a diamond or pearl necklace, a brooch and a watch. Robert Dudley gave her a watch encased in a bracelet, the first known wrist watch in England. Like other women, she would also often wear a miniature Prayer Book attached to her girdle.

For the outdoors, the Queen would wear rich velvet cloaks, gloves of cloth or leather,  and in warm weather, she would wear hats to shelter her pale face from the sun.  For riding or hunting she would wear special riding outfits that gave easier movement. She would also wear boots such as these.

The Queen was never fully dressed without her make-up. In the early years she wore little, but following her attack of the smallpox in 1562, she would wear quite a lot to cover up the scars left on her face. She would paint her face with white lead and vinegar, put  rouge on her lips, and paint her cheeks with red dye and egg white. This make-up was very bad for her health, particularly the white lead, as it slowly poisoned the body.

While the Elizabethan tried very hard to take care of their teeth, and knew that to keep them clean was to keep them healthy, they did not have very sophisticated dental care, and teeth rotted. As a consequence, Elizabeth had to have several teeth removed as she grew older. To prevent the appearance of hollow cheeks, she would stuff rags into her mouth. It was very fashionable to wear a wig, and the Queen did so from a young age. The Queen had a substantial influence on the fashion of her time, and encouraged her courtiers to dress well.

A crown? be more specific

Answer 7

Elizabeth I's wardrobe, which was rumoured to contain more than three thousand gowns, became legendary during her lifetime, as her costumes grew even more flamboyant and fantastic.  The miage of the godly Protestant virgin, in sober blakc and white, so carefully cultivated during her half-sister's reign, soon gave way to an altogether more colourful and showy imagine.  The queen's portraits invariably show her in dresses of silk, velvet, stain, taffeta or cloth of gold, ecnrusted with real gems, countless pearls and sumptuous embroidery in silver or gold thread whilst her starched ruffs and stiff gauze collars grew ever larger.  her favourite colours were black, white, and silver, worn with transparent silver veils.  many gowns were embroidered with symbols and emblems such as roses, suns, rainbows, monsters, spiders, ears of wheat, mulberries,  pomegranates or pansies, the flowers she loved best.

As an unmarried woman, elizabeth delighted in wearing low-cut necklines, right into old age, and on occasions wore her artificially-curled hiar loose, although it was usually coiled up at the back.  As she grew older and grayer, she took to wearing red wigs, which were copied by the ladies of the court.  Many of her clothes were made by her tailor, Walter fish, while Adam bland supplied her with furs.

.Beneath her clothes she wore fine linen shifts.  Gowns in those days came in pieces - stomacher, kirtle, sleeves, underskirt and collar or ruff - which were tied or buttoned together over whalebone corsets and the ever-widening farthingale, a stiff hooped petticoat.  In 1570 Mendoza, the Spamish ambassador, reported that he could not carry on a conversation with the Queen until she had moved her farthingale to one side and enabled him to 'get closer to her and speak without being overheard.'

Nearly every garment owned by elizabeth was exquisitely made.  Handkerchiefs given to her by Katherine Ashley were edged with gold and silver thread.  At the beginning of her reign, the Queen had been presented with a pair of the new silk stockings from italy, and had vowed that thereafter she would wear no other type. For muchof her reign, her stocking were made by Henry Herne, or knitted by her ladies.  The queen's shoe-maker, Garrett Johnston, provided her with a new pair of shoes each week.  In winter, her outdoor wear comprised cloaks or mantles, of which she had 198 in 1600.

Answer 8

Clothing.

Surely you can find paintings of her.

Her dresses were often done in what is called the Holbein stitch, so named because Hans Holbein painted most of the portraits of the Tudors.  It's very intricate embroidery on a contrasting base fabric.

Her skirts would have been made to stand out with ribs that are called Farthingales.  (a forerunner of the 19th century hoop, they were ribs that ran out and then down to the hem, to make the skirt look fuller)  

Intricate lace collars were the fashion of the day, you know, those ruffled, fluted things that are actually CALLED ruffs.

and she is usually pictured with jewels in her hair, as was the fashion of the day for wealthy women.

Also, she wore TONS of lead-based powder makeup, making her look even paler than she was naturally, because at about the age of 17, she contracted smallpox, and wasn't expected to survive.  She did (obviously) but it left her face badly scarred, so she really caked on the makeup, which only made it worse, of course, because lead is a poison.
