This floral robe a la Française was first worn by either Mary Nighy as the Princesse de Lamballe, or Io Bottoms as a lady in waiting in the 2006 production of 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆. The gown was worn twice in 𝑻𝒖𝒓𝒏: 𝑾𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒏’𝒔 𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒔. First in the 2016 third season episode 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔 on Amy Gumenick as Philomena Cheer, where the stomacher appears to have been altered, with the bows (eschelle) having been replaced with blue ribbon. The stomacher was altered again in its second use in the 2017 season when it was worn by an uncredited extra in the last episode, the appropriately titled 𝑾𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒐𝒏 𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒔.
