A gown of ten thousand pearls: Reconstructing the clothing of Mary Tudor and Charles BrandonIn 2020 Ninya Mikhaila was commissioned to reconstruct the clothing worn by Mary Tudor (sister to Henry VIII) and her husband Charles Brandon in their famous double portrait. In this talk Ninya shares insights into the research and making process for the elaborate garments, of which only certain areas are depicted in a painting which begs as many questions as it provides answers.
