I just finished To Die For, by Sandra Byrd, a fresh look at Anne Boleyn through the eyes of her lifelong friend, Meg Wyatt (read my review here).
I loved being immersed in Tudor England for a few days, and I think the book's cover is one of the loveliest I've seen. The dresses they wore in those days truly were to die for!
So for my Semi-Wordless Wednesday, I thought I'd have some fun looking at Tudor/Elizabethan fashions. Enjoy!
