Costume seen on Jessica Brown Findlay as Charlotte Wells
James Acheson initially designed this beautiful gown for the 1988 film Dangerous Liaisons. The dress itself was worn on Swoosie Kurtz as Madame de Volanges, and the costumes for Dangerous Liaisons went on to win Acheson an Academy Award for Best Costume Design. Though many of the costumes from Dangerous Liaisons went on to be reused over the years, this one has been seen at least eight additional times! Of course this is by no means a record, though it is a testament to the wonderful craftsmanship that went into the costume, as the piece still looks lovely even over thirty years later.
The first known time that the gown was used after Dangerous Liaisons was on an uncredited extra in the 1992 Annie Lennox music video Walking on Broken Glass. It was seen that same year when Josephine Buchan wore it as Constance in The House of Eliott. It was later seen on an extra in the 1994 film The Madness of King George, and on another extra in the 1995 Jefferson in Paris.
In 2014 the costume was worn by Sarah Gadon as Elizabeth Murray in Belle, and in 2016 it was worn on an extra in an episode of Turn entitled Many Mickles Make a Muckle. In 2017 the gown was spotted on an extra in Interlude in Prague, and most recently, the costume was worn by Jessica Brown Findlay as Charlotte Wells in the 2018 second season of Harlots.

Thank you! Great catch – this cap also made me notice the orange dress right beside it in the second image is from The Duchess.

Log in to ReplyLooks like this will be reused on Sarah Gadon for Amma Asantes 2013 feature film “Belle” – Gadon plays a major character in the film, so I reckon, the costume budget affords us many more finds ;o)
Awesome! Thanks!
Log in to ReplyThis dress is also seen in the 2nd season of “The House of Elliot” on the actress who is in Jack’s film
Log in to ReplyYeah, I knew I had seen it somewhere else – it was driving me nuts trying to figure it out. Then I remembered this music video.
Log in to ReplyHey, cool. You’ve found it once more in the music video!
