The Great season two costume: Catherine’s war dress

1999

The Great takes a creative approach to its historical characters and settings that is mirrored in its costumes - this war dress might have a classic silhouette, but the grimy pearlescent fabric and striking oxblood detailing is completely modern. Faking history is a time-honoured tradition in film, from historical fiction to propaganda.
