Riding Habit #1
Not a lot to say, except that Jennie was quite fond of riding all her life, so y’know, accurate in that at least.
Spotted Dinner Gown
This promo pic (and there are damn few of those!) shows the whole fam in the ensembles they wear for the first few dinner and evening-at-home scenes. Jennie will wear a lot of spotted, dotted pale gowns throughout the series.
White Ballgown Circa 1873
This frothy white ballgown is what she wears to a ball on shipboard at Cowes where she meets Lord Randolph. They met in 1873 and were supposedly engaged a few days later. The miniseries drags it out just a tad longer, but it’s still a whirlwind romance.
Brown & Blue Plaid Day Dress
Newly married, Jennie enters Blenheim Palace, Lord Randolph’s family home (he’s the third son of the Duke of Marlborough, so a gentleman but won’t inherit the title). These episodes were filmed at the palace, and it does “grand and imposing” quite well.
Pale Green Dinner Gown
I’m calling this gown “pale green” but it’s hard to pin down the color on TV or in screencaps. She wears it for the first formal dinner with her stuffy, boring in-laws, and another evening engagement in this episode.
Brown & Blue Plaid Day Dress With Cape
Her in-laws are really into The Country Life, so we get an extended hunting scene with a lot of bird gore (that probably looked much more bloody in the original airing of the show; it’s faded and blurred quite a bit in this print). I feel like this cape, skirt, and muff are the same fabric as the first outfit Jennie wears in this episode and the blue contrast looks similar (including the sleeve ruffle shape), but I can’t tell what’s going on with the bodice. Is something unbuttoned? Is the bl...
Riding Habit #2
This riding habit is no big deal, but I’m including it because there’s a photo of the real Jennie in a riding habit around this time. They’re vaguely similar.
Lavender Evening Gown
This lovely gown with lots of period details is sadly worn for one brief scene where Jennie has an annoyed after-dinner conversation with her stuffy in-laws. Wish she’d reworn this one later in the episode! But her hair is now very flat and kind of dull, which is a pity because 1880s hairstyles could be very elaborate with lots of height from curls, waves, or braids, plus ringlets were OK too.
Butterfly Evening Gown
But oof, that butterfly! Beading was used, yes. And metal sequins were used, sure. But this much? In a butterfly pattern? I can’t find anything like it in a fashion plate or extant gown. Let’s just compare to an actual picture of Lady Randolph in evening wear, where the gown shape is similar, but that’s where it ends:
Red & White Plaid Day Dress
I’m not generally repeating costumes that show up in multiple episodes, but this one had better views than the first time around. Jennie wears this during a discussion with her lover, Count Karel Kinsky (played by Jeremy Brett!). This is the only one of her many rumored affairs that the series includes, and it’s portrayed as the great, tragic love of her life. Eh, sounds fanciful, but it does make for decent TV. Oh, and I think by this point, Randolph has told Jennie he has syphilis, which is...
Brown Jacket
Randolph and Jennie are fighting about politics (weirdly, not about her affair with Kinsky or about his syphilis), and Jennie cries to her mother-in-law, who’s gone full Queen Victoria in her own mourning.
Mother-in-Law’s Black & Purple Bustle Dress
Speaking of Jennie’s mother-in-law, I’m including her outfit because, look, she’s wearing a solidly 1880s style bustle gown. And as we’ll see with more of Jennie’s costumes, it’s probably in the 1890s in this episode (and the episode ends in 1895). So you get the trope of the “old lady wearing outdated clothes” … or do you? Wait for it …
White & Black Dotted Day Dress
The neckline on this dotted ensemble is immediately identifiable, so it’s easy to spot (pun intended) when this gown has been reused. Sarah admired it in The Duchess of Duke Street (1976) and Recycled Movie Costumesnotes that this wasn’t even the first rewear! The costume has been used in filmed productions as recently as 2014, showing a 40-year frock flick longevity.
White Lace Blouse & Skirt
Jennie wears this outfit first when she’s flirting with George Cornwallis-West (who’s just 16 days older than her son Winston). She wears it again for a meal with the Prince of Wales, and finally when convincing an officer to help out her cause for the brewing Second Boer War.
Black Feather-Trimmed Evening Gown
This extravagant evening gown seems a little wasted on a brief conversation between mother and sons. But part of the scene is Winston chastising Jennie for her spending (while acknowledging he has ridiculous spending habits too), because none of them have a steady income source. So I suppose, in that respect, her wearing a gown decked in exuberant feathers drives home Winston’s point.
White Blouse
This scene opens with Jennie & George married, Jennie is writing her memoirs (to publish for money because they have no income), and George is bored. I think she’s wearing the same skirt as she did last episode with the White Ruffled Blouse Circa 1899.
White Lace Yoked Blouse
Both of Jennie’s sons are finally getting married, with a tiny bit of finagling on her account.
Pale Green & Lace Tea Gown
I hate this gown. The sleeves look too 1970s — and maybe they’re accurate, but nothing immediately comes to mind, plus the color / fabric combo screams “polyester caftan lounging on the lanai.” The tape-lace on the rest of the dress is appropriate for the period though.
Grey Suit Circa 1914
World War I has started, and Jennie is depressed but helping the war efforts. She’s wearing grey and blue, literally looking depressed, but still fashionable for the period.
Blue-Silver-Grey Evening Gown
Jennie plays piano to raise money for war charities and wears this evening gown. I can’t tell what exact color it is, something between blue and grey with a silvery cast to it. Elegant but still depressed.
Blue Suit
Can’t really see much of this suit, just the fox fur and the hat. I wonder if the costume designers were going for this look?
