I am doing some research on the type of clothing Queen Esther (in the Bible) would have worn during that time period. I do not even know where to begin? I need to know what kind of dress she would have worn, what her hair might have been like, her shoes, any other accessories like a crown etc etc etc Anyone know where I could find out?

I looked it up online; simply "Queen Esther" clothing...and got alot of costumes, and interestingly they were all purple w/ gold trim....at least 10 different sites 'specializing in costumes' came up with that..why? Possible that purple IS the 'royal' color, as well as gold sash/trim and the fact that her birth name was...Haddahed (sp..can't recall) which is 'myrtle' which is a color that most people associate with purple. As far as her other accessories can't help you there; with one exception; all Jewish women at that time wore a headcovering; ALWAYS. A tiara, etc? I do not know perhaps if she did it would be for ceremonial reasons.
Look up the year 480-465 BC, in Iran (which is where Queen Esther lived) and see if you can find any type of period clothing. I found this site: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/5646/history3.htm

if you can go to blockbuster there is a movie called one night with the king, wich shows esther, thats the easier and greater way, if not, you can look for persian clothing, they have dress like almost the same during all history.
