(May not be reproduced without prior permission)</p></div> <p>Apart from the Tudor dolls, there are two other wonderful items worth noting; the first is an original ‘working copy’ print of a costume designed by John Bloomfield, for the BBC Series ‘The Six Wives of Henry VIII’. Australian actor Keith Michell, who played Henry VIII in this series made in the early 1970s, wore it.</p> <p>The second is as above, but this time the costume is for Anne of Cleves, worn by the English actress, Elvi Hale.</p> <p>Designer, John Bloomfield, spent many months researching Tudor costumes and used some ingenious methods to achieve the ‘Tudor look’.</p> <p>“The authentic appearance of the court costumes was achieved by the ingenuity of designer John Bloomfield, who used painted cheap fabrics, glass and household washers to achieve the sumptuous period effect. Such was the interest in the programme that the costumes went on tour. The international success of Henry VIII led to the making of Elizabeth R, and established the BBC’s position as the pre-eminent producer of period drama.”</p> <p>How I would love to own such wonderful items!</p> <p style="text-align: center;">[cincopa AcOA-8KhNRbM]</p> <address>Source</address> <address><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc/great_moments/archive/january.shtml">http://www.bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc/great_moments/archive/january.shtml</a></address> <p> <br /> </p> <p><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fonthetudortrail.com%2FBlog%2F2012%2F08%2F23%2Ftudor-costume-dolls-by-peggy-nisbet%2F&title=Tudor%20Costume%20Dolls%20by%20Peggy%20Nisbet" data-a2a-url="https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/2012/08/23/tudor-costume-dolls-by-peggy-nisbet/" data-a2a-title="Tudor Costume Dolls by Peggy Nisbet"><img src="https://static.addtoany.com/buttons/share_save_120_16.png" alt="Share"></a></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/2012/08/23/tudor-costume-dolls-by-peggy-nisbet/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>42</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
