This beautifully detailed Edwardian gown has been used at least seven times over the years. The first known use of the costume was on Anna Palk as Kitty Westlake in the 1974 first season episode of Affairs of the Heart entitled Bessie. In 1976 it was worn by Jennifer Daniel as Eleanor in an episode of The Duchess of Duke Street entitled The Outsiders. In 1998 the costume was seen again in Berkeley Square, where it was worn by Hermione Norris as Victoria St. John. It appeared again that same year on Jenny Agutter as Mrs. Bruce in Bramwell: Our Brave Boys. In 2002 the costume was worn in The Forsyte Saga on Amanda Root as Winifred Dartie, and in 2013 it was seen on Zoe Tapper as Ellen Love in Mr.Selfridge. Most recently the gown was worn by Eleanor Tomlinson as Georgie Raoul-Duval in the 2018 film Colette.
