This vivid yellow and black costume was very likely inspired by the extant “Prunkkleid” of Kurfürst (prince-elector) Moritz of Saxony (1521-1553) held at the Dresden Armory. The robe was restored via the Swiss Abegg Foundation over a period of seven years before it was exhibited to the public again in 2010.   The costume was made by Joanna Eatwell and her team for Damian Lewis as King Henry VIII in the 2015 miniseries 𝑾𝒐𝒍𝒇 𝑯𝒂𝒍𝒍, were he dressed in yellow alongside his new wife Anne Boleyn upon the announcement of the death of Katharine of Aragon.   The costume was spotted again in 2021 on Mark Stanley as King Henry VIII in 𝑨𝒏𝒏𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒚𝒏.   Find out where else this costume has been spotted, and learn more about the Prnkkleid at Bit.ly/TudEliz197

The BBC’s adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s award-winning book 𝑾𝒐𝒍𝒇 𝑯𝒂𝒍𝒍 had quite a bit of press surrounding it – much of it costume-related. Joanna Eatwell designed the costumes, and an article in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕 stated:   𝑴𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒎 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒂 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒂𝒔 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒍𝒔, 𝑪𝒐𝒔𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒑, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝒄𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒚 𝑪𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒎𝒆𝒔, 𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒏 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒂𝒍 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑾𝒐𝒍𝒇 𝑯𝒂𝒍𝒍 – 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑯𝒆𝒏𝒓𝒚 𝑽𝑰𝑰𝑰 (𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝑫𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑳𝒆𝒘𝒊𝒔, 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝟏𝟒 𝒔𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒇𝒊𝒕𝒔), 𝑨𝒏𝒏𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒚𝒏 (𝑪𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒚, 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔) 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒔 𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍 (𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝑹𝒚𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆) 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉, 𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝑭𝒊𝒍𝒎𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑹𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒆. “𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒚 𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒓-𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑰 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘,” 𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝑬𝒂𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍. “𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒇 𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒅, 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅.

The gown must have been hired out not long after the filming on 𝑾𝒐𝒍𝒇 𝑯𝒂𝒍𝒍 ended, as it was seen again in April of 2015 being worn by Grace McCabe as Mary in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑫𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒚, 𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒔. The gown underwent some minor alterations. The detailing on the sleeves was removed, and a partlet has been added.   Learn more at Bit.ly/TudEliz132
