The GDR was famously chronically strapped for cash. Luckily, that did not hinder the DEFA film company to keep on filming. As may be expected: It shows!

Like with this costume, so pared back, one can hardly pinpoint the time period it was supposed to represent. On the other hand, it was very coherently reused: It (presumably) first appeared on Martina Wilka and Lilly Palmer playing young and older Charlotte Kestner, respectively, in 1974’s Lotte in Weimar – who, Thomas Mann argued, was fellow scribe Goethe’s inspiration for his Werther’s Lotte.
So, Lotte got to wear the costume in 1976’s The Sorrows of Young Werther – where Katharina Thalbach played her. Both films were directed by Egon Günther and costumed by Christiane Dorst, who worked on a large portion of 1970 to Mid-1990s 19th century set German movies.
