Costume Commentary

  1. It seems that there are two skirts. Both appear together in a scene from
    Edward the Seventh
    1975
    Costumes seen on Deborah Makepeace as Princess Helena and Shirley Steedman as Princess Alice

    The characters in the image are two daughters of Queen Victoria. The image is from the scene when the Queen, Prince Albert, and two of their daughters visit Bertie (later King Edward VII) at military training in Ireland.
