Queen Elisabeth I Dress
This Elizabethan dress in blue and gold brocade pattern is a good example of the rapid development in fashion throughout the Elizabethan era. The very high collar which continues forward to the waist was a very recognizable feature of the Elizabethan dress. It has short puff sleeves with a golden border and is gathered at the back. It is a very ornate yet simple dress and is worn over a plain chemise.
