Surrounded by a huge entourage, Mary I was dressed in purple velvet and purple satin, all richly adorned with gold and pearls, and wore a gold neckpiece closely worked with pearls and precious stones. Even her horse had a purple caparison worked with gold, which reached to the ground. This was perhaps the first manifestation of the female equivalent to that visual majesty recently made familiar by posture and rich dress in Holbein’s portrait of Henry VIII and echoed in the stance of Edward VI in several portraits that followed. A properly demure Tudor woman could hardly imitate that masculine stance with legs apart and arms akimbo, but there were, as Mary now demonstrated, other ways to communicate visible female royal power, circumventing masculine stance and military symbols. Mary’s parliament—with, of course, her prior sanction—passed two pieces of legislation defining fully the status of a queen regnant. One act clarified that a queen had exactly the same regal power as the kings of the English realm had always exercised. The other addressed the status of a queen regnant as wife, reiterating the provisions of the marriage treaties (themselves already approved by parliament and widely promulgated) that Mary remained “solye and sole quene” after her marriage. Mary was indeed both “king and queen” of the realm, legally and in practice. – Judith Richards.

After the book launch party I stumbled into the @Spectacle.Emporium and made a new friend! Steve Grabowski was excited to show me his collection of antiques. I even found a camera my mom let me play with as a kid! This dapper gentleman let me try on a pair of spectacles, then wanted a selfie. Very cool place to visit, even if you don't NEED old fashioned eyeglasses for your period costume...Yet.🙂 These pictures were perfect just the way they turned out so, #NoFilter #SpectacleEmporium #Laradise #LetsGo #NofilterNeeded #History #historicDowntown #Optical #Eyeglasses #PeriodDress #Yass (at Optical Fashions / The Spectacle Emporium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CffcykDraqK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🖤🖤🖤 Exciting news!! 🖤🖤🖤 A little while ago, @timetravellingredhead, a gorgeous professional fashion historian, costume designer, who’s life’s work is 18th century studies, reached out to me with an idea to make a pin series based on her incredible dress designs… “A DreaDFul Galerie des Modes!!” Princesses in all their Rococo glory! OMG. I LOVED IT. - But I simply couldn’t do it!! I have no time! Still, how could I say no!? The 18th century was my concentration for my art history degree!! What’s a gal to do!? The solution was clear. Learn to astral-project to my computer so that I could continue to work while my human body sleeps. - So that’s what I did and here we are! What do you guys think!? Is this a series that should happen?? Do you like it!? I do hope you say yes because astral projection was not easy to learn. Moving a pen while you’re a spirit projection is extremely tricky. - 🖤🖤🖤 The interest poll is up RIGHT NOW on my Patreon page! Link in bio & stories! That’s were the pins will pre-sale too, as well as a few on @ timetravellingredhead ‘s page, so follow along with her too AND check out her EPIC artist statement on her pin page: @redheadpinhead so you can see how much thoughtful creativity went into her amazing dress designs! 🖤🖤🖤 - #ariel #rococo #rococodress #thelittlemermaid #collaboration #collab #disney #disneyfanart #disneyprincess #princess #princessfanart #mermaid #redhead #pinart #fantasypin #arthistory #dresshistory #costumedesign #perioddress #periodcostume #fashionhistory #fashionhistorian https://www.instagram.com/p/CMfWZe5j5OD/?igshid=1jvl73ajquj1e

Seriously who is in charge of Frankie Drake Wardrobe department.
All the wardrobe are not historical accurate and its so bad. You can show that Frankie is modern women without dressing her like woman in 2020s.
In season 4 they dresses her in a MODERN SUIT. A MODERN SUIT. In 1920s. No women in 1920s would dress like this
All this would take away from the story . I am not focus on the mystery. I am focus on what the fuck thats not historical accurate wardrobe. Frankie can walk around in today's world in that blue suit.
Look at this mess.
Oh god this us so bad
I just heard the rumour that the show get canceled and my reaction was "WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!!!"
watch poirot, marple, sherlock holmes, murdoch mysteries, and miss fisher. If you want good murder mystery show
