Hi Julia,

I love this costume. I came across your page whilst looking for inspiration. I’m making an Anne Bolyne costume for my friend’s daughter and I want to make it as true to type as I can. Being 9 years old however, her daughter wants black and gold fabric. No problems there. I’m struggling with the sleeves though and I think that the way your costume’s sleeve is gathered at the wrist may just be the answer. I’ve never made anything before and have had to learn to use a sewing machine, look up dressmaking tips etc, so no pressure then… I’m putting it away for today and going to the pub with my hubby. Tomorrow will bring fresh eyes and finished sleeves. I hope. 🙂

Wow… I love this Anne Boleyn Gown – Anne has always been my favourite wife of Henry VIII – your dress looks like a portrait of her I’ve seen in the National Portrait Gallery. The only difference is her gown looks black and this gown is royal blue. I like the French Hood and jewellery as well – the whole outfit is wonderful!

Hi Alisa

Thank you for your comments – I am happy you saw me on Look North and liked my gowns.

I would recommend the book ‘The Tudor Tailor’ by Ninya Mikhalia and Jane Malcom-Davies as a very good starting point for the construction of Tudor costumes. It contains full instructions as well as patterns for gowns and headdresses.

Hope this is of some help

All the best

Julia

Dear Julia
I saw your interview last year on Look North and thought – WOW. I would love to create dresses and head wear like you. Could you please tell me how to construct a dress and French hood. I would love to make one myself.

You should be on route to Hollywood.
