Would you like some frilly collars and that kind of thing??

You got to have the white face and ginger wig! Big poofy dress and collars. Perhaps do a routine on what the Virgin Queen gets up to when nobody is watching?

You want WHITE bow topped stockings too OR anything with like a frill and cameo on the top! These would be fab! I stock these kind of things

Me too! xxx

Yes all fantastic ideas thanku! really like the idea of "what the virgin queen does when nobody is watching!" I was thinking v white face, fab stockings and some kind of bodice, more frills the better, more frills to come off then!

It depends whether you want to be accurate or just look historical - those pictures (I love the bottom two as well!) are more 18th century French than 16th century English!

need to be more historicaly accurate so any 15th century clthing ideas would be great, or wer to get english or french style 15th / 16th century hoods, or skirts.

I can't help you on where to buy stuff, but if you want to drop me a private message, I'll send you an e-mail with what I know about fashion at that time?
