bad queen bess

did you know it was the fashion in elizabethan england for women to expose their breasts (strange but true) and elizabeth I is on record for shocking a visiting french diplomat with her bare front? however, there don't seem to be any portraits of the virgin queen wearing one of these low-cut dress... well, until now.
