Hi Courtnie,
Do you mean the scene when Anne came back to “haunt” Henry in the black and white dress? If so, Kris is going to be making me that dress, after she’s done everyone’s Halloween orders, and then it will be on the site for sale. Also, the blue dress she is making is the one you can see in the photo at http://natalie-dormer.org/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=526&fullsize=1. This is the one that a few people asked about.

No, we have no plans to remove dresses. We only remove items, like jewelry, from the shop when the parts are discontinued. When Kris designs a dress it’s a lot of work – she watches the scene, uses photos, draws up the pattern, finds the right fabric, makes a mock-up and then makes the final dress – so we won’t be offering them just for a short time. I took the Showtime gold and red one off here because it wasn’t made by us, it wasn’t made to measure and it was in the wrong colours, Kris is making it in the silver and blue that Natalie wore.

Anyway, thanks for your comment, Courtnie, and I hope that reassures you. At the end of the day, Kris can also do custom orders too if she’s given enough time to plan them and make them.

Hello again!! I am writing because I saw the Dress that Natlie Dormer wore in the Tudors (season 4 dream of Anne and Elizabeth) The Anne Boleyn Dream Dress is really, really, really, beautiful. You have the jewelery, I would love to see the dream dress, ((plus have it lol.) It would be a good thing to have the dress that Anne Boleyn wore the time Henry saw her. Even though its not on record that he saw her, It was still beautiful and Natalie Dormer wore when she visited him. The last dress she wore in The Tudors,

Is there any way that that is possibe?

P.S, I also love the one in season 1 when she goes over to Henry’s right hand man, Wolsey with the flower design on it, it’s blue mainly but a shiny blue, Is that the dress you said was going to come out in time.

Anouther question I have for you is that because you are making more dresses if you were gonna take some dresses down. Please Don’t. A lot of people who see these are saving up money and when they come back then it’s gone. I want to try get my money soon and there are a lot of thing on here I wish to have, PLEASE don’t take anything away. Please?

Hello Maria!

The dresses are made so that they can be worn with hoops or without – completely a personal decision. In the series, Natalie did not wear hoops, but I have added extra gores so that you can wear one if you want. As far as weight goes – that totally depends on the dress and what it is made from. The satin and velvet are heavier then the dupioni. I am not sure what you are referring to when you ask about a girdle – are you referring to an undergarment or jeweled belt? Either way – neither one is necessary and depends on your own preference! Traveling would also depend on the gown – but all can be ironed except the velvet Prembroke and that shouldn’t wrinkle to badly and just be hung to air and straighten. Hope this helps Kris

Do these gowns need hoops, and girdles to fit? And how heavy are the dresses? Thinking of how well they would travel.

Hi Michelle,
Yes, they can, simply choose Great Britain/Europe Priority or Express from the drop-down menu on the dress, where it says “PLEASE CHOOSE THE SHIPPING FOR YOUR COUNTRY”. When Kris made my dress I chose Express just so that I could track it.
Thanks,
Claire

Hi Claire!
I was wondering if it was okay that I sent you my measurements to your email, because I’m not all too sure where to send it to.
Thanks so much!

Yes, Nancy, it is the Showtime one but in the proper colors rather than the gold and crimson. It’s weird that Natalie Dormer wore it in silver and blue yet Showtime licensed it in gold and crimson. We’ve had a few people say that they’d like it in the original colors.

Kris:

Thanks so much for getting back to me! In addition to the 2 gowns I enquired about, the garnet Christmas gown and the “ghost gown” are 2 of my favorites. The only one that I’m having trouble placing is the promo gown – you said that it was offered here before only now it will be in blue like it was in the show. Is that the Showtime gown that was offered in gold and crmison? Thanks.
