Oh he's afriend of mine, David Oliver, he's mainly a prop guy and he loaned me one of Steeds Original bowler hats from his personal collection, for the 50th anniversay celebartions.

Oh lucky you. One day I'd like to buy one of his emmapeelers. I wonder if a good dress designer could make one close enough. What sizes did they come out with?

I've never checked what the sizes on them are to be honest, I think all the ones I've seen are quite small possibly a UK 10. I really don't know.
I think you could probably find a dress maker to make you one, if you look on some of the cosplay sites I've seen some very impressive recreations in the past.

what a great site! How do you know about this stuff? It seems more modern day that having anything retro but I am impressed.

Well the Museum site is mine which is still being constructed, and every item on the site is something that I own. I've been collecting TV / Film stuff for over 30 years.
The Cosplay stuff I don't know that much about but have a few friends into it , so have looked at a few sites in the past, it seems to spill out onto the TV/Film Comic mart scene quite a lot.
I will have a little hunt and find you a couple of Cosplay Mrs Peels.

Also here are a couple of the best copies of Emmapeelers I've seen on Cosplay sites.

Thank you soooo much!

The 2nd and 3rd link, are those for sale or just viewing? The blue and pink one is really gorgeous. Many thanks for searching this out!!!

Tthe 2nd and 3rd are just for viewing I think. The Blue one with the cut out I though was just fantastic.
So acurate to the costume in the show, some of these cosplay people go to such lengths to create screen acurate replicas.
