The workmanship - for the huge hip-laden skirts with stealthy accordian
pleats, the bejewelled bodices and the extravagant cascading sleeves
that were all just right for Tudor court - was mind-boggling. History
remade in Burton's own exhibition.
Stunning, it really was and a world - or rather centuries - away from
fashion today. Which did leave us wondering just how this will translate
off the catwalk and into real lives. You don't find corsets and
crinolines hanging up in today's wardrobes but it will be wonderful to
see how they could - and Burton is the keeper of that key.
