<P> In Dead Man's Chest, as Elizabeth's character and circumstances change, so does her wardrobe . Although she is first seen in an elegant wedding gown and a long lace veil, Elizabeth later disguises herself as a cabin boy, wearing brown breeches, a white shirt, brown boots, a red waistcoat, a black belt, and a brown tricorne hat . She wears this garb throughout the film . Exposure to the sun tans her skin and lightens her hair . </P> <P> In At World's End, Elizabeth first appears in Chinese peasant clothing and a coolie hat while paddling a small boat through Singapore's waters . She is forced to wear only a short robe upon entering Sao Feng's bathhouse . Later, Elizabeth wears a long armored coat while traveling . As a captive aboard Sao Feng's ship, Elizabeth has been dressed in a long red cheongsam, a sleeveless full - length blue overcoat (both probably silk), and a studded turquoise phoenix crown . She later dons Chinese battle dress . During her one - day on the island with Will, she is clad in a black tunic . In the scene set ten years later, she is wearing a long skirt and a double - breasted brocade waistcoat over a white puffy - sleeved shirt, probably cotton or linen . </P> <P> Throughout the trilogy, Elizabeth Swann is portrayed as a spirited, intelligent, and independent - minded character who often chafes at the restrictions imposed on her gender and social rank . Early on in the first movie she often fantasizes about pirates and life at sea . This may have been fueled somewhat by her association with another character, Will Turner, who eleven - year - old Elizabeth met when she and her father, Governor Weatherby Swann were en route to Port Royal eight years earlier . Will, also about eleven, was found adrift at sea, the sole survivor of a pirate attack . During his rescue, Elizabeth briefly glimpsed a mysterious ship slipping into the mist--a vessel foreshadowing her destiny . </P> <P> The story continues eight years later, and Elizabeth is now a marriageable age . Back then matrimony was a common means to forge strategic political alliances and advantageous social connections rather than loving unions, she is expected to wed a respectable and prosperous man equal or superior to her in rank . Elizabeth prefers marrying for love, and she may secretly harbor feelings for Will Turner . But Will, a common blacksmith, is an unsuitable match for such a well - born lady . And although Will secretly loves Elizabeth, he knows his place and keeps his feelings deeply hidden . Governor Swann, meanwhile, desires that his daughter marry Commodore James Norrington, a respected Royal Navy officer who Elizabeth admires but does not love . Ironically, it is Norrington who sets events into motion that not only alter Elizabeth's fate, but also his own and Will's . During Norrington's marriage proposal, Elizabeth, whose tightly laced corset nearly suffocates her, faints and falls off a rampart and into the bay . Her unlikely rescuer, and the catalyst for her transformation from a demure lady into a daring pirate, is the notorious Captain Jack Sparrow, newly arrived in Port Royal to commandeer a ship . Despite Sparrow's gallant actions and against Elizabeth's protests, he is promptly jailed for piracy and sentenced to hang . That night, a pirate ship, the Black Pearl, raids Port Royal . It is the same ship Elizabeth spied in the fog eight years earlier . When she is taken hostage it is discovered that she possesses Will's gold medallion that she took from him after his rescue, fearing it marked him as a pirate . Invoking parley, Elizabeth negotiates with Captain Barbossa to leave Port Royal in exchange for the coin . He agrees but keeps her captive on a technicality after she identifies herself as Elizabeth "Turner", mistakenly believing her blood can break an ancient Aztec curse the pirates are under . Their true forms--immortal skeletons--can only be seen in moonlight . </P>
