The red dress with sleeves as shown in the early red gown portraite of Elizabeth as a princesses aged 16 ,,I am a fair bit older but I didnt have another model.
The fabric is not as rich as the portraite gown damask and more like the gown as shown in the Lions cub Episode of Elizabeth rI used black Velvet on the back of the french hood but its far too heavy silk works much better ,I have taken the velvet off but intend to re use the hood for another portraite costume of Elizabeth at some point as it seems to be the one she has on in the Family painting of Henry VIII and his children
