Our expert's notes

A Mongolian Princess costume worn in the 1987 multi Oscar-winning drama The Last Emperor. This stunning costume was worn when the 15 year-old Pu-Yi (Wu Tao) wed's the 'old' government chosen first wife and Empress, 17-year old Wan Jung.
The multi-layered costume consists of a thick white quilted gown with ties to the front, a red rayon brocade under robe overprinted in gold with colourful panels of appliqué fabric and high padded shoulders, tall collars, and cuffs trimmed in brown Astrakhan and Mongolian lambswool, and finally a sleeveless over robe decorated with colourful repeated Chinese motifs throughout. There are no sizes marked on this wonderful costume and it remains in excellent condition.

This comes from the private collection of renowned producer Jeremy Thomas (who single handedly raised the $25million budget for the movie) and was archived after filming completed until only recently, when the Prop Store was proud to assist in sorting and cataloguing the incredible inventory under the guidance and in collaboration with Oscar-winning Costume Designer, Jim Acheson.

This item comes with a Propstore Certificate of Authenticity
