Elizabeth I

Crystal Award  1st place

2003 BMAA  Historical 

 

 This doll is an image of Elizabeth I from the movie.

 

 

I tried to reproduce the 16th century dress. This dress's feature is showing beautiful sleeve's lining. The inner sleeves have red criss-cross pattern as well as the skirt, and golden frill is attached around the wrists. The front skirt is made with ivory satin which has the appliqué of red criss-cross ribbon, and the ribbon is decorated with a golden bead to the center of criss-cross. The garnet color ornament is beautifully hanging from the bodice. I arranged the same ornaments on each corner of the over-skirt. The red pomander, which is attached with golden bead string, is hanging from the west; in her case, I substituted a red porcelain bead for the red enamel. The dress is a black velour. Her accessories are a combination of garnet color crystal and rhinestones. They are elegant!!

 

Hair Styling

Referring to 16th century hair style, I decorated the hair with pearl-beads and rhinestones. I arranged the hair style in my own way instead of real Elizabeth I's. The hair was re-rooted with golden brown. The top is styled over pads and made a complicated chignon for the back.

Make up

Instead of shaving the eyebrows, I painted them thinner. The original doll was Princess of Island.
