I completely fell in love with the costumes in this film and will go into greater detail on the gowns and such later.
First though, I shall start with Mr. Darcy.
In the beginning of the film we find him quite up tight an formal. Every button perfectly buttoned, hair in place and cravat just so.
As the film plays out and Mr. Darcy slowly warms to us, his costumes change to make him seem more relaxed and more human.
I love the thought put into this. One thing I love about the art of clothes in film is you are creating a feeling, sometimes more than historical accuracy. I love how creative and artistic you can get with that.
So, there you have my thoughts on Mr. Darcy. I could go into greater detail on the cut of his waistcoat, the fabrics, etc (which I adore) but I shall for now just share this with you. Maybe someday I will talk about all that. I hope one day to make some of his costumes. They're just so cool. :)
