𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑶𝒏 𝑫𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝑳𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅, the 1967 film from the team behind the iconic 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑶𝒏 series, featured this beautiful necklace worn by Joan Sims as the character Désirée Dubarry.   The necklace made a second appearance just a few years later in 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑶𝒏 𝑼𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑱𝒖𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒆, released in 1970. Joan Sims wore it once again, this time in her role as Lady Evelyn Bagley.   Want to see more? Bit.ly/Acces068    

This beautifully embroidered gown was first spotted on an extra in the 1969 film 𝑨𝒏𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑫𝒂𝒚𝒔. It’s possible that it originated with this film, but it is also plausible that the costume came from an earlier production, as extras generally wear reuses.   The 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑶𝒏 films are well known to have reused many costumes from earlier productions, and so it is no surprise that this piece was seen again in 1971 by Joan Sims as Queen Marie in 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒏 𝑯𝒆𝒏𝒓𝒚. Additional fabric under the sleeves has either been added, or is perhaps more obvious in this film. Interestingly, it is the same fabric used for the skirt of another costume, found here: bit.ly/TudEliz244   It’s possible that the costume was used further after 1971, as auction photos of the piece show an added ribbon around the neckline, as well as a different skirt. In 2007, this dress was auctioned off by Bonhams, where it sold for $1050.   You can learn more at:Bit.ly/TudEliz230
