This fantastic reproduction of a gown worn by Queen Jane Seymour in a portrait by Hans Holbein was seen being worn by Kate Phillips in the 2024 sequel to Wolf Hall – The Mirror and the Light. The piece looked familiar, and some digging revealed it to have been used in 2016 in Six Wives with Lucy Worsley, worn by Elly Condron also portraying Jane Seymour.
However, because the documentary likely did not have any original costumes, it means that the gown almost certainly did not originate with the 2016 documentary. So where did it originate? The most likely candidate is the 2008 adaptation of The Other Boleyn Girl. Though the gown, worn by Corinne Galloway as Jane Seymour is shown only briefly, and almost entirely in shadow, it does appear to be the same gown. Minor alterations were made for Six Wives and The Mirror and the Light, but the fabric on the petticoat is the best indication that they are one and the same.
I romanced Garrus in my first playthrough and now in my second playthrough, I noticed that there's just something funnily romantic about the scenery between their first meeting. LIKE-
These are their POV's when they first saw each other:
The way Shepard's red complements with the cherry blossoms and Garrus infront a fountain, sparking that adventure that Shepard is looking for at the start of her story - there's just something poetic about it. 🤣🤣
and I love it even more because there's some genuine irony, that the ME developers never expected Garrus to be so popular and the end product of it all turned out to be more like a romance story between them by the fans. 🤣 I love them both sm!! Their 🔴🔵 chemistry is just so perfect. 🙏
"And now, his monarch's sweating face thrust into his, he remembers something his father told him: if you burn your hand, Tom, raise your hands and cross your wrists before you, and hold them so till you get to the water or the salve: I don't know how it works, but it confuses the pain, and then if you utter a prayer at the same time, you might get off not too bad.
He raises his palms. He crosses his wrists. Back you go, Henry. As confused by the gesture — as if almost relieved to be stopped—the king face away and so relieving him, Cromwell, of that bloodshot stare, of the indecent closeness of the popping blue whites of the king's eyes. He says, softly, 'God preserve you, Majesty. And now, will you excuse me?' (Mantel, H. 2012. Bring up the Bodies. 276-277)
