This lovely dress has been used for several productions since its first appearance in 1995 when Thandiwe Newton wore it to portray Sally Hemings in Jefferson in Paris. Three years later, in the 1998 Wuthering Heights, the same dress was seen on Orla Brady as Cathy Earnshaw. It was then sighted in the television miniseries A Respectable Trade in 1998, where Emma Fielding wore it as Frances Scott Cole.
The next year Jessica Oyelowo wore the gown as Sarah in the film Sleepy Hollow. That same year, an extra wore the gown in The Scarlet Pimpernel: The Kidnapped King. It was another eight years before the dress reappeared in the 2007 adaptation of Mansfield Park, where Billie Piper wore it as Fanny Price. Finally, in 2009, an extra was spotted in the dress in the British period legal drama Garrow’s Law.

On Ruby Bentall as Babarina in “Interlude in Prague”. Wonder if it came with her from the Poldark set 🙂 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ae614600dcc009d9493797507fbe0b4bc4e29d923cca9272b1d61a67aa2348c4.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f26fd05b7dce86e28200cc2d9a633bbf5960df639295d233c4bf027e0ae29012.jpg

WOWWW! This is great!
Log in to ReplyNice catch!
Log in to ReplyIt sure is! And wow, I had no idea Gregory’s “A Respectable Trade” had been made into a BBC mini series! I confess, I am not a fan of Gregory at all, but I don’t know much about her non Tudor work and wonder if it is any good…I may have to check this out!
Log in to ReplyWell, here it is again! This time it’s worn by Emma Fielding as Frances Scott Cole in BBC’s 1998 mini series of Philippa Gregory’s A Respectable Trade.
Log in to ReplyI just spotted this costume on an extra attending the play in The Scarlet Pimpernel: The Kidnapped King (1999).
Log in to ReplyOh my goodness! I don’t know how I missed this one! It’s my favourite version of Wuthering Heihgts and I’ve seen it a million times! Thanks for pointing it out, Anna!
Log in to ReplyAlso worn by orla brady as cathy sr in ITV’s 1998 version of wuthering hights
Log in to ReplyAlso worn by an uncredited extra in Garrow’s Law, episode 1.
Log in to ReplyOh, what a clever catch! I think you’re right! I must go back and get a screencap of them picking over fabric! Thanks so much for the info!
Log in to ReplyI haven’t seen Jefferson in Paris in years, but I beleive that there is a scene in which Mrs. Cosway assists Jefferson in selecting the fabric for this gown. If I remember correctly, a bolt of the fabric is a prop in the scene, which strongly sugests that this gown was created for Jefferson in Paris.
