Gabrielle India Wardrobe as Shakti

When Studios USA sold off a lot of Xena costumes/properties on eBay, this beautiful costume was bought by a German dude that had it stored for many years, never was displayed before, since I bought it 3 months ago. It comes with the COA from "Studios USA" and "It's a Wrap".

This is a complete screenused wardrobe used by Gabrielle played by Renée O'Connor during the episode "Bewteen the lines" from season 4, Gabrielle went to the future to save Xena soul of her enemy, Alti.

The Gabrielle Shakti Outfit is complete, although it missing the golden turban and shoes. It contains the following items:

- Red Trouser: The trouser has a tag inside that is written "Gabrielle as Shakti", made out of red silk and gold details.

- Gold Wrap Top: In a beautiful gold tone this top is made of silk with the authentic tag from the costume.

- Gold Belt with hanging Bits: The belt is maybe one of the more impressive accesories from this costume, has plenty of details and the gold metal piece in the front is quite heavy.

- 2 x Upper Armbands & 2 x Gauntlets: The armbands and gaunlets are awesome, they are made from leather with a covering of gold fabric and adorned with metal trims, fake gold medallions and fake gemstones. Also, they are identify as Gabrielle (Renée O'Connor) accesories. Sometimes the costumes that were sold in the Turners Auction in New Zealand came with some double/stunt accesories, this one isnt that case, is everything from the co-starring from the tv series, Renne.

- Necklace: The necklace is completely made of metal and quite heavy.

- 2 x Earing: The earings are like the necklace made out of gold metal.

- Chain Bandelier: Its a metal chain with a gold rope arround.

*Note: The Shakti double armbands were sold on eBay the 24 nov 2014. They were separated from the double/stunt costume. No idea were they are right now. Ive found this photos from the auction.
The auction said: "Up for auction is a pair of gold jeweled armbands.  They are labelled "Shakti Double" (faint but readable) - (note: the letters have faded further barely readable now).  They measure 11" long, 1 1/2" wide.  They are made from leather with a covering of gold fabric and adorned with metal trims, fake gold medallions and fake gemstones.  They lace up with gold elastic cord.  They have been worn and are slightly damaged, but still a great piece of television history from a fabulous show. They come with a Scroll of Authenticity from Drummonds Antiques who held the original auction from New Zealand. They would be an excellent & unique addition to any collection.  They have not been displayed they were locked in my safe."

Here I share some screencaps from the episode "Bewteen the lines" where it seen the costume.

Screenused Roman uniform

This last week arrived a great christmas gift for me: it's an authentic complete Roman costume.

This is a complete Roman wardrobe used in the Xena: Warrior Princess tv series. It has several items to talk about:

- Roman leather vest, quite heavy and very detailed with rivets and metal pieces.

- Roman red cape, the fabric remains me the Gabrielle season 2&3 skirt fabric, maybe its the same fabric but in different colour.

- Roman leather pair of gaunlets, in the tags inside from each gaunlet is written: "Roman old Joxer" so I suppose that this gaunlets were used by Ted Raimi in the episode "Eve" when he tries to save Gabrielle.

- Roman red undershirt.

- Roman red skirt.

- Leather boots.

- Roman helmet made of heavy resin. (not seen in the photo)

Also the wardrobe arrived with the roman resin dagger and Ive alredy got the roman sword and scabbard that complete the costume.

Here is some screencaps that show the roman costumes used in the tv show.
