This essay focuses on the neo-Victorian materialisation of Dickens’s vision through theudcostuming of the Miss Havisham figure in three film adaptations of Great Expectations:udDavid Lean’s Great Expectations (1946), Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard (1950), andudAlfonso Cuarón’s Great Expectations (1998), a modern updating. The distinct filmudlanguage which emerges from the costume designs in each of these films enables cinemaudaudiences to re-read and re-imagine the novel’s portrayal of perverse and uncannyudfemininity. As a result, the disturbing and enduring ambiguity of Havisham’s clothingudestablishes her as a figure of resistance to modernity, and as an embodiment of decline,udsignalling youth and age by means of a robe which is at once wedding gown, unfashionableudgarment and shroud.
