It is unknown just where exactly this highly detailed and beautifully embroidered early Jacobean style jacket originated. While it is possible that it was made for The New World, where it was first seen in 2005 on Q’orianka Kilcher as Pocahontas, most of the gowns from that film were recycled from earlier films such as Shakespeare In Love or Elizabeth.

The jacket is seen again in the opening credits of Showtime series The Tudors, most likely on Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn, though her face is not shown when we see the jacket. In 2007 it was used on an extra in Elizabeth: The Golden Age.  In 2008, it was seen on Esther Nubiola as Diane de Monsoreau in the film La dame de Monsoreau, and then again in 2013 on Pénélope Levequeas Mary Livingstone in Mary, Queen of Scots.  In 2014, the costume was seen on Alice Sanders as Fleur Baudin in the television show The Musketeers. In 2015 it made its second appearance in The Musketeers, where it was spotted on Marianne Oldham as Catherine. Most recently it was seen on Naomi Battrick as Jocelyn in the BBC series Jamestown.

Jackets like these can often be seen in portraits from the time period, and several of them still exist today.  A portrait of Dorothy Cary, Viscountess Rochford shows an excellent example and an extant jacket in the collection at The Fashion Museum in Bath. is remarkably similar to the costume above, right down to the pink ribbons.

This gown was first seen on Tamzin Merchant as Katherine Howard in the 2010 fourth season of The Tudors.  Due to The Tudors heavy use of recycled costumes, it is likely that this piece actually dates to an earlier date. The costume was worn again by an uncredited actress as Anne Boleyn in 2016 in Carlos Rey Emperador.
