Elizabeth I near the end of her reign has been
faithfully reproduced with a doll dressed in perhaps the most famous style
associated with the Queen.
Elizabeth's underskirt is a richly embroidered fabric, hemmed with gold
braid interlaced with red ribbon. Her gown is a rich ruby red colour and is
trimmed with a black silky braid. The
bodice comes to a sharp 'V' at the centre, and a chain of black rhinestone
and pearl
beads falls from the point. The large round organza soft ruff has been edged with lace.
Sleeves end are elaborately 'puffed' and have a scalloped black lace cuff.
Elizabeth carries red gloves and a
feathered fan in her hands.
Jewellery includes a necklace with red stones, long rhinestone
chain, jewel hair decoration and pearl 'earrings' and coloured stone 'rings'.
