About the Costume

Costumes for the 1969 film Anne of the Thousand Days were created by Margaret Furse. Her gowns not only won her an Academy Award for best costume design, but they also went on to be used in numerous productions over the years, including Elizabeth R, Carry On Henry, Mary, Queen of Scots, and The Tudors.

This light yellow Tudor Era inspired gown originated in Anne of the Thousand Days, where it was worn by Genevieve Bujold as Anne Boleyn. The costume was used again in 1977 in the film Crossed Swords (AKA: The Prince and the Pauper), where it appeared on an uncredited actress in the role of Kathryn Parr.  The gown is clearly the same, though it has been slightly altered to give it a different look. The partlet has been removed and black fabric has been added to the front of the bodice.

Costume Commentary

  1. I saw this lovely dress in an exhibition in Edinburgh – the coronation dress Genevieve wore in the film was shown too – I wonder where that went ??. Margaret Furse’s costumes are timeless and so beautiful..

      • It was at the Ideal Home Exhibition at the Waverly. Think it was 1969 when the film came out and was showing at the Odeon. There was a fashion show at the exhibition and the gasps when the lady came out wearing ‘The Coronation Gown’ was wonderful !. I would have been about 9 or 10 but have never forgotten it.

  2. If someone is interested, I’ve created a list in GoodReads with the best orange/yellow/golden dresses in book covers. It’s name is “Golden as the Sunset”

  3. I know – it’s sad isn’t it? I’ve no idea if they altered the dress for this film, or if it was altered in another film that we haven’t found yet. None the less – the dress was stunning in its original form and should not have been changed.
