Tudor costumes

Tudor costumes, prominent in the 15th and 16th centuries, feature rich fabrics like silk, velvet, and brocade, often adorned with elaborate embroidery, jewels, and lace. Men wore doublets, hose, and cloaks, while women donned fitted bodices, full skirts, and ornate accessories. Color symbolism and status influenced clothing choices, with brighter and more luxurious garments indicating wealth and power. These costumes reflect the period’s fashion emphasis on display, craftsmanship, and social hierarchy, and are often characterized by distinctive elements such as ruffled collars, puffed sleeves, and intricate patterns.
