This purple doublet is an excellent example of how costumes are altered and adapted for new productions. The piece likely originated with the 1955 film ๐ป๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐ ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐, where Basil Rathbone wore it as Sir Ravenhurst. It is possible that it came from an earlier production, as ๐ป๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐ ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐ did recycle some of its costumes. ย The costume was used again in the 1961 film ๐บ๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐, where Guy Rolfe wore it as Count Oga. The costume underwent alterations to give it the look of having slashed sleeves. ย Want to learn more, or see more costumes from ๐ป๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐ ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐? Visit our website! Bit.ly/TudEliz228 ย ย
