#six design

Here's my designs for :

Mary of Aragon (top left), Mae Parr (bottom left) and Bess Boleyn (right)

Are y'all interested if I post Ed (Edward VI reincarnation) design?

Bess design is based as if Courtney Bowman as Anne Boleyn was her mother. She'd be around 17-20.

Mae's around 4-7 years old and Mary 25 I'd say.

Introducing the final ‘lady-in-waiting’ in this six the kids! Jane Dormer was Mary I lady in waiting during her reign and the two became close and good friends until Mary’s death. She married a Spanish lord and moved to Spain shortly after Mary’s death and played a huge role in helping exiled catholic English people during Elizabeth’s reign. She actually remained in contact with Elizabeth during this time as well (wether they had a good or friendly relationship I’m not sure)

Designed Robert Dudley for one reason:

I just wanted to make this joke

Henry Fitzroy Henry’s illigitamate son to Elizabeth Blount (Bessie on Bass). In on of his mother being a lady-in-waiting he gets to be bass player like his mum. His outfit is supposed to be based off a more punk aesthetic cause i like punk and he is kind of an outsider to his pop royal half siblings. it’s not conventionally six but thinking up designs for guys is really hard.

Oh yeh i gave him his iconic hat because it’s the only portrait i could find of him.

Alright here we go lads.

Rule no. 1 research the person you want to design for. In this case Edward VI

Look at this little lad. Now you kind have to break down what people know him for pretty much what they did with the queens. He known to be Henry’s only surviving son, everything he ever wanted, the reason he destroyed so many women’s lives. So I make him exactly what Henry wanted. Perfect little cherub. And that goes for the colour scheme; purple. Back then and a lot of art or fabric that was purple meant royalty. Purple was such a rare colour and very expensive to make so that’s what he gets. He is the future king to carry on Tudor legacy like Henry wanted.

Now you know the basic details it’s time to tear apart the clothes:

Here are two examples. Now to make sure the design is fairly Tudor looking you need one key thing: jacket. With maybe poofy selves and with little details that resemble the style somewhat.

Now you’ve broken that down now one last thing

Sixify it. My suggestion is use both Cleves, Parr and some alts as examples. Personally Cleves is the best. The tricky bit is making it orignal while still sticking to the six-formula which I’ve found really hard. Especially when you want to base them off a singer. With female singers they have interesting costumes and designs that make them stand out while male singers are really fucking boring so my suggestion is go Vocaloid or some other ‘cartoon’ related examples. I think some k-pop and j-pop idols might be good examples too.

Wow. Ok this is a big ask. And it isn’t dumb!

Edwards outfit was a combination of looking at both Parr and Cleves outfits while also looking at Tudor men clothing. High colours and jackets were a main theme so I Cleves jacket poofed it up and then gave him a more modern interpretation of the rest of his clothes. The middle part of his shirt is influenced by the Jane Seymour pattern on her dress (since it’s his mum) I chose purple for his main colour as it is a colour that symbolises royalty on power (a VERY rare colour in most art) and Edward was everything is father wanted, a continuation of his families dynasty and royal line.

Elizabeth patroons was influenced by Parr’s outfit. Parr was a very important part in Elizabeth life (before the whole Thomas Seymour thing) she was her teacher first and then became her stepmother later. Plus I wanted the theme of ‘survived’ to be in her outfit. The pantaloons however are based off Tudor fashion at the time since men wore big poofy pants, so I took inspiration from that (mind you I am NOT putting any thought to that god awful theory that Elizabeth was actual boy to prove that was the only way she could rule well)

Yeah I did make up lady jane greys dress. Admittedly I had to redo from the first time because I was really unsatisfied with it. I wanted to give her a more flowy more innocent look for her. I looked at Jane Seymours outfit for inspiration but I could get the effect I wanted. So I opted with a more light ‘silky’ fabric that would dance around her when she moved (if someone were to make the actual thing haha)
