Planet of the Apes (1968). Female chimp costume from the production, comprising a tunic with inner cuffs extending beyond sleeves, elasticated skirt, five-toed boots on a realistic custom made female ape mannequin with silicon head, hand-punched hair and glass eyes, most probably made by the Western Costume Company, height of mannequin approximately 70 inches. Morton Haack, costume designer who was Oscar nominated for his work on the film, came up with the idea of having colour-coded costumes for each ape species, having abandoned his original idea of having individual character designs. The skirt is made of thin cotton however the prosthetics and thick green tunic were incredibly uncomfortable to wear for the on-location filming in Arizona in over 100 degree weather.Under 20 of these chimpanzee costumes were made for the entire Planet of the Apes series, making complete costumes exceptional and extremely rare.
