A 17th century period costume worn by Patrick Stewart as Sir Simon de Canterville in the made-for-television Hallmark feature The Canterville Ghost (Columbia Pictures Television, 1996), also starring Neve Campbell. The costume was custom made for Stewart and consists of an undershirt, doublet with matching breeches, a cape, and prop neck iron. The cream colored shirt has long billowing sleeves and an ornate lace pointed collar with string tie at the neck. The peplum doublet with gold buttons and matching slashed breeches are constructed of black slashed leather and crushed gold and grey velvet and decorated with wide bands of ornately patterned gold embroidery. Cream frilled cuffs are attached to the wrists of the doublet sleeves, and the breeches have a label sewn inside by “Qiana, London.” The three-quarter length cape is constructed of a floral patterned velvet trimmed with wide gold and black ribbon and is lined with iridescent purple damask. Also included is the screen-used prop neck iron attached to a length of chain made of rubber and hand painted to resemble rusted metal. The outfit was Stewart’s primary costume change worn in different combinations throughout the entirety of the movie. Stewart wore the costume with and without the cape, doublet, and chain in multiple scenes. In addition, Stewart can be seen wearing a variation of the costume without the cape and neck iron in several posters and promotional images for the feature. The Canterville Ghost , based on
