This is the dress worn by Gertrude in the 1996 film adaptation of Hamlet. It is currently on display in the Biltmore House, as part of the Fashionable Romance exhibit. If I were going to aid and abet in the murder of my husband, combine the funeral with the wedding of my new husband, and then try to get my son assassinated, I would absolutely wear this.
What do you think, dear readers? Is this just the thing for a queen needing to change husbands, or is it too purple?
There is no such thing as too much purple. I especially like the glimpse of complimenting underskirt.
