This fantastic reproduction of a gown worn by Queen Jane Seymour in a portrait by Hans Holbein was seen being worn by Kate Phillips in the 2024 sequel to 𝑾𝒐𝒍𝒇 𝑯𝒂𝒍𝒍 – 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒊𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕. The piece looked familiar, and some digging revealed it to have been used in 2016 in 𝑺𝒊𝒙 𝑾𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑳𝒖𝒄𝒚 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒍𝒆𝒚, worn by Elly Condron also portraying Jane Seymour. However, because the documentary likely did not have any original costumes, it means that the gown almost certainly did not originate with the 2016 documentary. So where 𝒅𝒊𝒅 it originate? The most likely candidate is the 2008 adaptation of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝑩𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒚𝒏 𝑮𝒊𝒓𝒍. Though the gown is shown only briefly, and almost entirely in shadow, it does appear to be the same gown. Minor alterations were made for 𝑺𝒊𝒙 𝑾𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 and 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒊𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕, but the fabric on the petticoat is the best indication that they are the same.
