Elizabeth I was buried at Westminster Abbey on the 28th April 1603 in the vault of her grandfather, King Henry VII. In 1606, King James I had her remains moved to a tomb in the Lady Chapel which she shares with her half-sister, Mary I. As far as I know, her tomb has not been opened since then and I do not know what her body was dressed in, I'm afraid.
