I'd say that was a budget issue, since they wouldn't have wanted to put her in Morgana's old gowns.

I thought it a pity that they didn't use Guinevere's wardrobe to make a point about the kind of Queen she was by giving her gowns that were noticeably plainer and fewer than other royal ladies seen during the course of the series, not having her wear much, if any, jewellery, etc. It would have been a way of showing that she didn't spend vast sums of money on her wardrobe because she felt the money would be better spent on the needs of the people.

They devoted so little time to showing her as a Queen that a visual of her dressing comparatively simply could have gone a long way to showing viewers that she was different. As it was, if somebody started watching the show in Season Five, they probably wouldn't be able to tell that Guinevere hadn't been of royal or noble birth as there were so few reminders of it, aside from a throwaway line about how she's not used to having a maid... a good three years after she became Queen, which didn't make sense.
