Anne Boleyn Dresses

Posted By Claire on January 4, 2010

Happy New Year!

I’m starting the New Year off with exciting news – Kris, the lady who makes our French hoods, is going to make custom, handmade-to-order Tudor gowns for the site! Yay!

Obviously we want to start off with Anne Boleyn and we also want to start by launching one gown so that Kris can get material sorted and get herself organised, so we want to know which of the five following gowns you would like her to make first. All you have to to do is view the slideshows at the bottom of the post and then vote for your favourite, the one you think we should launch first.  Please vote and help us out with this.

    Belle, thank you so much for the answer!!! :-) Now I get it!!

  2. Anne-Laure says:

    I vote for the Pembroke one! Though I love them and wish I could wear them all! This one is so regal!

  3. Sheena says:

    The first dress looks very similar to the red Florentine dress on museumreplicas.com, only with a different brocade patten on the bodice and skirt…

  4. Mary Benedict says:

    Ironically, the execution dress is the most beautiful design, but I can’t vote for it because…you know…the execution. =:o

  5. Claire says:

    I’d love to wear the execution dress at the Tower on May 19th at The Anne Boleyn Experience 2010. I’ve got dark hair, so it might make people think back to The Tudors and realise what day it is. What do you reckon??

  6. lisaannejane says:

    Claire – I think you would look great in the “execution dress”. Could you get some of your friends to dress as ladies-in-waiting? Wouldn’t that look really cool to see you and your attendants entering the church? By the way, I hope you plan on taking many photos of the trip and include as many AB fans as possible!

  7. laura says:

    clair i think is a wonderfull idea you should wear that dress… I personaly love the red one but i would love to have them all!!

  8. Di Williams says:

    I had a question. Would this lady be willing to do custom orders? I am looking for a wedding dress from this era, but am unable to find many dressmakers familiar with this style. I would be willing to pay extra. If she has contact info that anyone could share with me, I’d much appreciate it. Thanks!

  9. Claire says:

    I am happy to put Kris in touch with you Di. I’ll pass on your request to her now.
    Thanks,

    Claire

  10. Shanna says:

    The Pembrook dress is exqisite although Miss Dormer wears them all with grace and elegance.

  11. Angelina says:

    Claire,
    I would also like it if you could put me in contact with Kris. My own wedding is coming up in 3 years and I wanted a Tudor-inspired gown to wear. :) I love them all btw, and will most likely work on getting them all for my collection lol. I love you’re site as well. Thanks

  12. Jane says:

    I just found and subscribed to your site yesterday, so please accept apologies for a late response. I am torn between the Pembroke and Execution dresses. For myself to wear, though, my favorite is the yellow gown. Gorgeous.

  13. QueenOfAThousandDays says:

    the marquess of pembroke dress looks best on Natalie Dormer and is so beautiful :)
    please start with this one

  14. karla says:

    will the Anne Boleyn dresses be available to be shipped outside of the U.S?

  15. Claire says:

    Hi Karla,
    Yes, they will. I’m not in the US so I’m making sure that they will be available to all those who don’t live in the US. Kris is investigating the best shipping solutions as obviously they will be rather large items.

  16. sylvia says:

    It simply has to be the Duchess of Pembroke dress. It is Anne through and through.

  17. Susana says:

    omg, that´s so cool! I love it all! But I love red, so…I like the first one the most. The pembroke is gorgeous as well. gee, I woulod have it all if I could, lol.
