I might have found another reuse of this dress, although I’m not 100% sure since it is only seen on an extra for a split second when the camera passes her by in Buddenbrooks (2008).

Oh, that’s absolutely the same costume. No doubt in my mind. Thank you! Great catch!
Then I’ll quickly add it to my other suggestion. There are probably more hiding in this movie but I will need to take a closer look later, now that I’ve finally secured an HD version since the German-French public broadcaster has made it available on their website for the 150th birthday of Thomas Mann.
Niiiiiice!
Unfortunately it is only in the background and therefore quite blurry but could this be the same dress as seen in A Dangerous Fortune?
(See 37th picture of the gallery: https://filmykostiumowe.blogspot.com/2019/09/die-pfeiler-der-macht-tv-2016.html )
Yes, great catch. Absolutely the same piece!
I guess it is good then that the series will air this Friday so I hopefully get the chance at a better angle of the dress for a screenshot.
Oh cool! I wonder if I can track down this series.
There definitely is an English language DVD cover. However, I only saw references to Australia and that would make sense since SBS seems to have licensed and translated quite a few German dramas over the years (e.g. Ku’damm series and Sisi (2021))
Oh good, thank you! I will take a look!
It looks like it is available on Apple TV.

Thank you! I will check it out!

Costume seen on Jacqueline Bisset as Isabella Caldwell
Oh wow, it sure is the same dress. Thanks!
This costume also appears in the cover of “From London with Love”, by Jenna Petersen (2006). But it is the Spanish edition, this is “Desde Londres con Amor”. You have to check the girl on the right.It is a work of photoshop, because it is actually Rosa Garland’s body, but flipped, and with a new head.
By the way, the main girl is actually Romola Garai’s body in “Amazing Grace” (where she plays Barbara Spooner), except for the skirt.
The heads of the Lady on the cover really must have been attached via Photoshop. Here’s picture proof for Romola Garai as Barbara Spooner in “Amazing Grace”. Now, would that, strictly speaking, be a proper case of reusing or “just” academic quoting? ;o) No wonder, the locks on that girl in the middle look so off. But I do wonder, if we’ll ever find the origin of the figure on the left.
Do you want something horrible? Well, look another Spanish edition of a novel by Jenna Petersen, “Amantes para la eternidad” (“Seduction is Forever”).
The girl on the left has Danielle de Barbarac’s “Breathe” gown (Renaissance, when it is supposed to be Victorian), and I’ve seen that very same necklace in Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn in “The Tudors”…
Pathetic, isn’t it?
Is that Jessica Biel? Can’t those celebs sue over such monstrous use of their delicate features? Golly and those hands. I have to admit, it’s so bad, it’s fun. Thanks for sharing!
PS: And hey, is that some kind of sequel to the other book? I’d swear all three faces – less heavily shopped – belong to the same women that were facially violated for “from london with love”.
I do not think that’s Jessica Biel. And yes, there is a 3rd book, but I haven’t discovered such a bad use of a nice costume the way they did it here.
About the dress from Ever After, and Anne Boleyn’s neckIace, I can prove it.
The third horrible cover belongs to “Desire Never Dies”, translated literally as “El deseo nunca muere”. Horrible to the utmost.
Oh, dear!
Wow. This type of work by Photoshop or anything like it is so wrong and disturbing. I can’t believe people think it’s ok to do and get away with it.
