The Prince Regent

Costume seen on an extra https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bbaecef8778cae41f41284d3dfed0c512797b06e7178a0b61b6b22ca6465d9f5.jpg
WOW! Good catch! I’ve never heard of “The Prince Regent” before. I will have to look for it. Does it go into Princess Charlotte’s story at all? I was just thinking the other day that I’ve never seen Princess Charlotte’s story played out anywhere before that I can think of…
Also have I really not added the dress on the right yet to the site yet? That one has shown up a few places as well. I could have sworn I had, but I am not seeing it…maybe I am thinking of this one: http://www.recycledmoviecostumes.com/costume/regencyromantic119/#cst-regencyromantic119
I’m starting to have to check now as I add dresses now that we’re approaching 1000 dresses. One day soon I will accidentally add a page for a dress I’ve already added…
The dress on the right is not the same as the one in Vanity Fair with the chains below the bodice. But they both have similar vandyking along the neckline. The one in Prince Regent is actually the same one worn by Mrs. Elton in the 1972 Emma.
The lady in the middle is wearing a familiar costume as well, although i can’t place it at the moment. EDIT: I think it was in the 70s version of War & Peace.
I’ve edited the above comment. the gown with vandyking is the very same one worn by Fiona Walker in Emma 1972. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5e32352525c09674e840a4595fb5a041d001b5b4c6f4ba6c738bfef68ed813d2.png

I was correct, the gown in the middle was worn in
War & Peace
1972

Nice!!!
I have been waiting for this mini to come out on DVD for ages! I’m really enjoying the great performances. I’ve always been fascinated about Prinny, and Egan’s portrayal is really good.
The costumes are incredible. I’ve rarely seen so many court gown costumes from these periods. Caroline of Brunswick wears some amazing outfits.
EDIT: Princess Charlotte (played by Patsy Kensit, no less) is depicted with the royal family. I haven’t completed watching the mini yet; but she is not a major character in this series.
Later Charlotte as a young woman is played by Cheri Lunghi. Her story does play out, though it is a small chapter in the overall story of the Prince Regent.
Thanks, I am gonna have to get a hold of a copy. Prinny is so overlooked in history, really in terms of TV/Film portrayals. No offense to Victoria, or George III, etc, of course, because I love them too, but George IV does get the short end of he stick in films.
I have been experimenting with image enhancement tools provided by Windows 10. Here’s the same screencap, enhanced. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/968116d719264806c1927a2e5f68b2277d2c3b2c771f52ef36b29c730ebb04b2.jpg
Thank you so much! This is great!!!
and here is a close up of the bodice.
I finally found a DVD of WAR & PEACE and borrowed it. Here’s a new screenshot of Countess Rostova.
