Pretty sure, one of these dresses will turn up again on Hopey Parish as Mary Bennet in the currently filming netflix adaptation of P&P. (Also: I hate to say it, but Lizzie’s dress does not look like it was tailor-made for Emma Corrin as well, same as Freya Mavor’s pelisse, so they’re probably rentals. Which is quite disappointing, seeing that this production should have the literal advantage of a netflix budget and netflix should know its audience after the Persuasion backlash… Or maybe they’re cynical and not wrong as well in assuming we’ll watch it anyways? Harumphh.)

Oh you are right! I am curious to see which one it is!
PS: By now I’m pretty sure, these are different dresses. Haven’t enough access to pics of the one in Sharpe. But aside of the differing sleeves, the one from Emma 1996 has small flounces – or tucks? – down on the otherwise not very full skirt and an opening down the bodice front that seems to reach below the waist accentuated with the darker purple ribbon while the one from PPZ looks like a drawstring bodicefront with wide boxpleats or a slit-masking frontpanel – for high kicks, like other fighting dresses especially made for this feisty movie – and a fuller back to the skirt from the waist down, structural differences that cannot be alterations, I’d think. In naturally lit pics, the fabric also looks like a very light pinkish hue with straw coloured flowers. Compare with the purple dots and burnt umber flowers on white from Emma.
I agree. I need to separate these out and put the others in the gallery below as a call out for having the same fabric. When we find out which of the dresses was used in P&P will probably be a good time for me to do that. Thanks for the photos – your research is impeccable!
Merci, you’re welcome.
