Original costumes worn by Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins
I've seen the knitted scarf adorned outfit on display at Disney's Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives at The Reagan Library in July 2012, but hidden away behind a reflective display case. On this occasion I was able to get a much closer look at the wonderfully iconic costume, plus more of Tony Walton's Oscar nominated costume designs, and even some original carousel horse props featured in the movie too.Mary Poppins movie poster
In the movie set in 1910, when Mary Poppins, Dick Van Dyke's 'Bert' and The Banks children jump into a chalk-drawn picture, they emerge into a fantasy world of painted backgrounds, fairground carousels, horse-racing and dancing animated penguins, and the actress wears this pretty dress during the 'Jolly Holiday' song.Mary Poppins Jolly Holiday costume worn by Julie Andrews
Even though the Edwardian outfit is missing her satin waist corset, it's still quite special to see the costume on display with its accompanying hat, ankle boots and parasol. It's also interesting to see that the ribbons and bow detailing on the dress are actually orange and not the pink they appear to be in the movie. Let's face it, who doesn't have fond memories of this classic film musical.Carousel horse props from Mary Poppins
Also on display from the Disney vaults were these colourful merry-go-round horses that featured in the movie, imaginatively presented within the exhibit. I believe these are Bert's orange horse and Mary's winning lilac-coloured carousel horse from the horse-racing scene.
