This yellow gown was designed by Margaret Furse for Glenda Jackson to wear as Queen Elizabeth I in the 1971 film 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒚, 𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒔. The sleeves are distinctive and a hallmark of several gowns she created in not only 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒚, 𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒔 but also 𝑨𝒏𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑫𝒂𝒚𝒔. The costume was made over – or perhaps – toned down, for use in the 1974 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒌𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒓𝒔: 𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒅𝒚’𝒔 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆, where it was worn by Faye Dunaway as Milady de Winter. The parlet and ruffles on the sleeves have been removed, the underskirt swapped out, and some gold trim has been added to the front of the bodice. Nonetheless, it is those distinctive sleeves that give away the fact that these two gowns are the same. See more at Bit.ly/TudEliz244
