I’m watching Elizabeth: The Golden Age while tacking a hem in my chemise when I noticed that the skirt on Mary’s brocade gown was very familiar!
“Probably the earliest depiction of the Spanish verdugada. Pedro García de Benabarre, Salome from the St John Retable, Catalonia, 1470—80.”
Does it seem similar to anyone else or just me?

“This fabulous dress was designed by Adrian for the film Marie Antoinette.”
It’s from the 1938 version starring Norma Shearer.
