Costume Commentary
it is also seen on the accursed kings/les rois maudits, 2005 version on actress marie de villepin as queen philippa of hainault. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6db9bfb35dead276f113bfe5434d00dc41824d62b07348635dc5d449dffb4fcb.png
This one appears in three novels by Elizabeth Chadwick (German editions of each) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c63e1eef1482033623c4500b66f33fd5d34c662e34db17167ebb94b74134e160.jpg

I just found this costume in an alternate cover for a novel by Caroline B. Cooney, “Enter Three Witches” (2007)
Even when we see it on the back, I’m pretty sure it could be the same costume

Elizabeth Chadwick – The Winter Crown.
The costume in its blue version!
Elizabeth Chadwick – The Winter Crown
The same costume, guys. In its blue version, particularly.
Das Lied Der Königin – Elizabeth Chadwick (I believe it is the German edition of “The Summer Queen”, judging by the synopsis of the back cover – 2013).
For the one who said that we never see the back of this costume, here it is!
Thanks!

Eleanor of Aquitaine, blue gown

It is the site whit the shoots for book covers
If someone is interested, I’ve made a list in GoodReads with the best green dresses in book covers. It’s name is “The Girl in Green”
Do you want to see the red version?? This same costume appears in the cover of “Matilda: Queen of the Conqueror” and “Queen of the Conqueror: The Life of Matilda, Wife of William I”. For me, they’re the same book, but, according to GoodReads, they’re two separated novels…
There is another sighting of this dress in 2001.
Colette Stevenson as Guinevere wears this dress in Seaon 1 Ep.6(Sir Caradoc and the Round Table) of MythQuest.
This is great, James, thank you!
And the pendant that appears in “Four Sisters, All Queens”, it was also seen in “The Uncrowned Queen”, a novel by Anne O’Brian (2012)
This one also appears in the cover of “Dragon Lovers”, a book with stories by Jo Beverly, Mary Jo Putney, Karen Harbaugh and Barbara Samuel. It’s from 2007
Don’t forget that oin photo shoots you never see the back. She coudl have bulldog clips up her back to make it fit at the waist. Done it many a time in my own photo shoots.
I’ve looked this one over and tried to find a larger photo. They do look very similar. I think there is a slight possibility it is the same, assuming the collar comes off, but I’m not sure. The fabric doesn’t seem to match. The close up of the gown in blue kind of shows the pattern is set in stripes on the sleeves. I am hoping maybe the photo from the White Queen will be re-edited for further editions (which usually happens with Gregory’s novels) and well get a more full shot of the dress to confirm if it is or is not the same.
Oh nice catch!!!
Blue! This book cover allows for a good close-up of the pattern.
Okay so some peoplearesaying thatthis isn’t the same dress well if you look at the second picture you can see that they had to elongate the torso part of the dress. Butthe same belt of green fabric that comes right under the “V” of fur is still therein bothpictures. And also take into count the lighting, lighting can make a purple dress pink or an orange dress red, point is lighting changes the picture. And if your concern is the triangle of fabric hiding the models chests’, it seems like the color might have changed but if you look close the texture and pattern stays the same. Some alterations of the sleeves may have taken place but you can’t really tell from the given pictures.
This is interesting – thank you, James!
I found simillar Dress from Salt & Gold (1983) on Dietlinde Turban as Princess Barbora
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1f95c2a7bb0e6ae8a2aa3c42b67bf9cc5f30372870c6dbfe31b59d745dfb0e3e.jpg
I was search around and found this picture of the book “The White Queen” by Philippa Gregory. I’m not sure if it’s the same but I couldn’t find any other pictures. The fur on this dress seems to be flatter, less furryand the color of the dress has changes. Photoshop?
Sorry, but just because they don’t look EXACTLY the same doesn’t mean they’re different. Look at the basic dress then you can see that they alter it slightly. This is done all the time in the performing arts. I once acted in Les Mis, and I was given a dress that used to be an 80’s prom dress. I had to wear it in 2 scenes. 1 as a prostetute, and the other as a guest at a wedding. Wouldn’t you be shocked to know that they could look exatly the same. I had the dress altered so that it had stings I could tie it up with, so that it showed my thighs, and wore a low cutcorset, and had the traps hanging off my shoulders. For the wedding scene I let the dress down, and put a high collar jacket on so now the same dress looked proper. Same dress, just altered, and with different accessories. Same went for my other costume, but not as drastic of changes.
They seem to be the same to me – I’d love to hear an elaboration on why you feel they are not the same. They are accessorized differently, the second image having a belt at the waist, but the waistline is still clearly up higher none the less just like on the first one. Are there any details of note that you see that would enable me to confirm that they are not, in fact, the same gown?
very similar but not the same dress. Again.
