Dress ca. 1908

From LACMA

Oh wow, I love the cutouts. I’m gonna have to try that sometime.

Droooool.. there are some really lovely photos of this dress on Flickr (I’ve faved a few: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sheila-walter/5270977207/in/faves-91424360@N00/ ) so you can see the texture and colour a little more clearly.

Stunning, absolutely glorious and making me want to spend summer scanning my Girls Own Annuals. My earliest is 1906 latest 1911 so covers this perfectly. I have a few articles on tripod and will move them to here on another blog 🙂

BABY

Wow this costume department is amazing! Seriously, this gown contains some spoilers, though it is a natural extension of what we have seen in the second series. Just think about where that collar shape was first seen…

This is why I love costume. Its not about prety frocks, it’s not just about gret technique, it’s about character. And sometimes it makes you think and put pieces of a puzzle together.

This show does costumes like I have wanted see to on film and tv for a bloody long time. My feelings on the show itself are a bit more complex (which is also something I have wanted for a very long time!). If you don’t have a clue about symbolism you can still at least see that there are regional differences in clothing and hair- defined by the elements and the clannish aspects to the families.

It’s everything we ever learnt in the great costume design books right there, actually used.

Ummm.. just wow. I had no idea I was heading up to SGH for a photoshoot that Thomas so kindly wrangled for me. I had a “dur” moment when I realised though… ehem. There is a latex bald cap glued over my ears as well as the lekku as well as the ear buds so I missed most of what anyone said unless they were speaking directly at an ear bud so I blame the costume. Yeah. These silly costumes, to quote from another franchaise.

This one photo makes up for oh so much trouble getting to and from D*C as well as some stinky health issues that plagued both Celebration and D*C.

Thank you SGH, Kristy and Thomas.

SGh for the art and letting me be truly Sith, Kristy for so patiently painting my back and working with products you had never tried before and to Thomas for organising a last minute photoshoot with SGH and for being my eyes and ears and at times sensible adult.

Many thanks to Matt and Kristy for their help and hosting and taking many awesome images (I think all but one linked here) 🙂

And so then in character I got to Shoot All The Things! Bounty Hunters, can’t take them anywhere:

For Balmorra and Belsavis! That is the famous Roxy. So glorious.

And met amazing people:

And stormed the Rebels:

Took over the Imperials:

Took a taxi, er, speeder to Endor:

And eventually was caught and repackaged:

More people shared on Facebook but it is being a pain to deal with but I have been able to get a few shared to my page:

though they are intersperced with a few rants about the flights back and other projects 🙂

I still need to harvest in progress photos from a few cameras so will try and do a progress update.

I have just bought more material to redo the chest and back plates, saving up for replacement bodysuit too 🙂

Oh and in case you didn’t notice, it’s pretty fun in Shae’s shoes. So much fun. Except in the Marriott elevators.
