Fascinating exhibition at the Queens Gallery (round the back of Buckingham palace).
The exhibition focuses on the clothing/costumes of the royal court during the Tudor and Stuart periods through a mixture of paintings, jewellery and some original clothing (one of the highlights being a beautifully embroidered bodice).
Made me yearn for the days of true excess when people wondered around in silks and stains with jewels and pearls sewn on their sleeves and hats the way we now walk around with studs attached to our coats,shoes and handbags.
