This red Tudor gown was designed for Glenda Jacksonβs portrayal of Elizabeth in the wonderful 1971 miniseries π¬ππππππππ πΉ. π€© The gown was loosely based on a painting by William Scrots of Elizabeth as a young princess. π¨ Β
The dress went on to be used in the 2000 documentary π¬ππππππππ: π»ππ π¨ππππππππ

The partlet was removed, pearls and jewels were added to the neckline, and new sleeves (from the coronation gown from π¬ππππππππ πΉ) were added, among other changes. π Β
The dress would be seen the following year in another documentary πΊ β π»ππ πΊππ πΎππππ ππ π―ππππ π½π°π°π°, where an uncredited actress wore it as Princess Elizabeth. Β
It was worn several more times over the years, but we cannot document them all on our social channels. Please visit our website to see more sightings of this dress, as well as to find out what it sold for at auction! Β
