About the Costume

Jennifer Jones first wore this lovely dress as Elizabeth Barrett in the 1957 version of The Barretts of Wimpole Street. The gown was used again over twenty years later in the 1979 Reinhild Solf as Tony in Die Buddenbrooks (Buddenbrooks). The dress was altered, with some of the trim removed and changed, though a close look at the remaining trim makes it apparent this is indeed the same costume.

Costume Commentary

  1. Tht doesn’t look like the same gown 0 it looks like someone saw teh first gown and made a copy. The proportions of frills and neckline etc seem different to my eye.

    • It’s really astounding, sometimes, how costumes are altered for later projects, and James usually has insider information about his submissions. 🙂
