Hey friend, welcome back to the Renaissance English History podcast or YouTube channel. I've got something

really special for you today, a full session recording from TudorCon 2024 featuring the brilliant Samantha

Bulat. Samantha's a dress historian based in Williamsburg, Virginia, where she works as a tailor for the

Jamestown, Yorktown Federation. She combines her meticulous historical research with

stunning hands-on craftsmanship. And in this talk, she takes us deep into the luxurious world

of Royal Tudor clothing. Specifically, we're diving into the wardrobe of Anne Boleyn based on

actual fabric and clothing receipts from the final years of her life.

Samantha walks us through the fabrics, colors, construction techniques, what Anne's clothing can tell us

about her personality, and yes, she even gets into why Tudor women didn't wear underwear.

This was a real treat to watch in person, so settle in

and enjoy Samantha's talk dressing a queen, the royal robes of Anne Boleyn. If you love this talk,

you can still come to TudorCon 2025, where we're going to have more talks like this. We've got a

Music All right, let's turn it over to Samantha's talk. Probably many of you, and I think many other people in the world, I have been captivated by

Anne Bowlen since I was young, very young.

I did a project on her in eighth grade where we got to focus on one historical person and I wanted to dress up like her.
