Director Cecil B. DeMille gave the role of Princess Alice to his daughter as a Christmas gift. The Costume was designed by Travis Banton and consists of a two piece period gown and long cape constructed of black silk crepe and embroidered with gold and silver bullion in an ornate floral motif with glass pearls and steel marcasite beads.
It was later worn by Mildred Natwick in Paramount's The Court Jester in 1956, with costumes designed by Edith Head.
