The Mary RoseTudors Exhibition Portsouth

Mary Rose 500 appeal
Emmy award-winning costume designer Joan Bergin is the creator of the elaborate collection.
Costumes from the historical drama series The Tudors are being showcased in the UK for the first time.

I was able to be involved in setting up the exhibition at the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth in January.This was a great opportunity to get close to the costumes and see how they were made.  


Jonathan Rhys Meyers as King Henry VIII  costume.




The types of fabrics used for the show were chosen after considering how they would show up on film. this particular fabric was a completely different colour when the lights were not shinning on it. the fabric changed from a mustard colour to a bright pink once in the light. 

 Young Elizabeth's costume the costumes took around 90 hours each to make. there are 500 costumes for the whole show that have been made.
Me with Henry's Boot!
