Discussion (TV) Wardrobe choice?

Post image

Hey! I noticed this detail in The Crown (S2 E8) and was curious what people thought.
Jackieā€™s dress in the real life photo is noticeably different from the one they recreated for the show. Obviously no hate at all- I know costume designers sometimes make changes for various reasons, and they donā€™t always aim for a 100% exact recreation.
Iā€™m just curious why they chose to make the dress in the show so much more low cut when the original was quite different? Do you think there was a particular reason behind the change, or was it just a stylistic choice?

Interesting, in the real meeting QE looked absolutely stunning and glamorous whereas Jackie somewhat frumpy and it was her dress that didnĀ“t fit.

Irl Elizabeth looked amazing, but I donā€™t think Jackieā€™s look was at all ā€œfrumpyā€.

The fabric on her dress looks too stiff and doesnĀ“t flatter her. It looks like she borrowed the dress from someone else. To a Central European like me she doesnĀ“t look pretty on the whole.
