I worked on the film…. in the “Settlers” or “European” shop (as opposed to the “Indian” shop) Several gowns from “Dangerous Liaisons” were brought in to put on extras in Albany before James Acheson had his name taken off the project. (that’s a whole ‘nother story!) This gown is made from very expensive Italian silk. It was a la francaise originally, but on “Mohicans, the back pleats were stab stitched to the lining, and the skirt cut off(!) to make doubles of the bodice.

This is fascinating, thank you!
Didn’t Madonna wear on of Michelle Pfeiffer’s Dangerous Liaisons gowns in her MTV Music Awards perfomance of her song, Vogue?
Yes indeed she did – she wore Glen Close’s gown, actually.. You can find that page here: http://www.recycledmoviecostumes.com/costume/stuartgeorgian059/#cst-stuartgeorgian059
Thank you for the photo! Good catch!
Actually…it’s the 1st dress you see Uma Thurman in…. I think
Thanks, Anna! I loved it too. I’ve seen both of those films a million times and never caught it!
Great Find!
