One Dress a Day Challenge

March: Pink Redux

The Court Jester / Angela Lansbury as Princess Gwendolyn

This is one of Gwendolyn's simpler dresses, just for lounging about in her chambers. The ornamentation is confined to some rickrack and just a few pearls. It still has a luxuriously long skirt and trailing sleeves that swoosh out impressively when she moves, though!

Although the movie does not in general strive for historical accuracy, since it's basically a fairy tale, I do appreciate the medieval-style double-sided comb.

SUMMERTIME (1955) (dir. David Lean)

I was thinking of the first evening I came here. First time I saw you, you were wearing that yellow tie. I don't want to forget any of it. Not a single moment. I don't think I ever shall.

One Dress a Day Challenge

October: White Redux

The Court Jester / Angela Lansbury as Princess Gwendolyn

I'm pretty sure this is the dress that Gwendolyn is wearing under the blue and green robe/cloak that I featured in July--compare the cuffs. It's the most luxurious of all Gwendolyn's dresses, with the lavish gold trim and embroidery. It also reminds me of the gown worn by the lady in Edmund Leighton's painting The Accolade (see below)--enough that I wonder whether there is a deliberate reference. Especially since Gwendolyn wears this gown to a knighting ceremony, even though she doesn't get to do the actual "accolade" in the movie!
