In Burgundian gowns, like the one above, though it looks like preffered simpler sleeves. "The White Queen" does get the basic silhouette right, but the dresses in the show are a bit too flat and simplified. The real dresses would have been darker, heavier and with more layers. And no noble lady from 15th century would ever go around with her hair uncovered or loose, she would always wear a hennin or other headdress. Uncovered hair was only acceptable for young girls, weddings or coronations

I was curious because I <3 Elizabeth Woodville.
(And I'm descended from Edward Seymour, but that's another story entirely!)
P.S.: I gave up on White Queen the show...the books have less mumbling.
Plus, I don't want to reach through the screen and strangle Lord Neville when he steps on the screen for a single millisecond. xD

wonderful <3 actually, I hate this question, but I have to ask: have you drawn all of them without linearts or whatever they're called? (I always have a kind of reference ( or more than one) , but I never draw exactly the same)

Thanks! Well, the guy one the left came out exactly like that one [link] but usually, I have quite a few references and I combine them and add some of my own imagination.

Your art always inspire me. Where do you find all the sources for the historic clothing?
