This beautiful gown has been used at least thirteen times over the years, making it one of our most heavily spotted costumes on this website!

This dress was most likely designed for the 1987 production of Vanity Fair, where it was worn by Eve Matheson as Becky Sharp. The dress went on to be worn by a slew of extras, including in The Deceivers in 1988, Duel of Hearts in 1991, Princess Caraboo in 1994, the 1995 Sense and Sensibility, the 1996 Emma, the 1998 adaptation of Vanity Fair, the 1999 Mansfield Park, and the 2001 version of The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby. It was worn a second time in 2001 by Marion Bailey as Macefield in Micawber, before being worn by another extra in Byron in 2003. In 2009 the costume appeared on Sarah Hadland as Caroline Bingley in a sketch from an episode of That Mitchell and Webb Look. Its latest appearance was in the 2013 film Austenland, where Jane Seymour wore it as Mrs. Wattlesbrook.

Costume Commentary

    • Haha! Sure enough! Very good catch! This gown could possibly one day take the prize for most usage (and it seems to be in very nice condition too.)

      I also have a feeling it is out there in other productions existing in the gap between 2003 and 2009. I am sure it exists in some of the Austen films made at that time. I’ll keep a wary eye out next time I am watching them.
