one of the most frustrating moods is Desperate Need to Create Something, Anything + persistent lack of motivation/attention/ability/time/inspiration/energy to do so

I love Katherine Howard’s blue/gold bird dress from Season 4, Ep 4. I think that’s my favorite of the series. I have to say I did not care for the black dress with the silver Anne wore in a lot of Season 1.

Oh, yeah, the lady-in-waiting ‘uniform’? I didn’t care for it much either, I liked that it had a lot of pearls tho!

I think Mary Tudor, Anne Boleyn, and Katherine Howard had the best costuming on the show overall tbh!!

I like the blue one too!! (If you mean this one, that is):

They also had her wear one of Anne Boleyn’s gowns and headpieces, very clearly, in the scene Katherine says she was “the most happy” so that was…incheresting………

@joshmopolitan

I did not notice that she was wearing Anne’s costume in that scene!

Yeaaah I have to assume that was deliberate because it was like…down to the accessories…and she says it and he just…kinda:

(from this:)

I also only probably watch Poldark for Heida Reed as Elizabeth! She’s honestly one of the best acted characters on the show, and her costuming is always gorgeous. I love your blog, so I just had to send you an ask.

Aw, thanks!

I love her, and hate that she’s so hated by the fandom so I don’t really get involved tbh, lol…

Yeah I don’t uuuhh…care for Ross? If they wanted him to be the romantic hero to a 21st century audience I think they needed to do more to make him different from his character in the book tbh.

I think my favorite costumes ever are from Poldark, of Caroline or Elizabeth from season 3. My least favorite costumes would have to be the ones from The White Princess. I mean, some of them were ~fine~ (tho not in a historical sense), but most of them used fabric that was supposed to look “lavish” and “lush” but actually just looked really cheap and crappy. And I have so many issues with the “French hoods” in The Tudors, that either look like visors, headbands, or ???

Oh I love Elizabeth’s costuming on Poldark!! Some of the best imo. (I kind of…mainly just watched Poldark for Heida Reed & Elizabeth if I’m bein’ honest shshsh but her costuming certainly didn’t hurt!!)

They were pretty hit or miss for sure on TWP…budgeting, maybe?

And yes, a lot of them were very bad. I remember the one we see Jane Seymour wear in her first scene is like…a pencil-thin headband quite literally, just why:

What is this?? Degrassi?? One Tree fuckin’ Hill?? I hate.

what are your thoughts on costumes in the tudors in general? do you like that they sort of modernised the style a bit? or would you have rather they used historically accurate costumes?

I mean I would have preferred historically accurate costumes, but they were at least colorful/fashionable imo…or the women’s were, at least, for the most part.

Idk why they’re so afraid to cover women’s hair in period dramas in general, tbh?? Tudors isn’t the only one guilty of that but like…the skinny little headbands instead of French hoods…are y’all even trying?? I think the hoods of the Tudor era were beautiful; esp. with the veils, it would be nice to see more of them in general.

Would’ve also liked to see some clothes mentioned in primary sources if it was ever possible… Anne Boleyn’s nightgown, for instance, which I’ve wanted to see in an adaptation since reading about it in Ives’ bio!
