I went to see The Duchess with my mom and sister today....ooh....it was so beautiful. The filming, the scenery, the soundtrack...but mostly, the costumes! I just loved every one that came on. I kept nudging my mom and saying "Oooh, I love that dress!"
So, I have the perfect fabric and I'm going to start making a dress based on this dress:
I love it. I wish I could find better pictures of it online, it's so gorgeous in the film!
Lots of notes to follow....:)
NOTE: I would not recommend this movie for everyone as it does have some offensive content. It is rated PG-13 for a reason! Check out the review here, if your concerned.
ahhh, i wasn't going to see this at first because of the offensive stuff in it. i'm rather sensitive to domestic stuff. anyway but the more i think of it i know i would love to see those dresses on the big screen, so i think i'm going this week, we'll see. :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean...I'm sensitive to that too. But I sort of gave in because I didn't go see Marie Antoinette in the theater for the same reason and I've always been sad I missed seeing the gowns on the big screen!
ReplyDeleteThey did an amazing job of showing you every detail of her dresses too, I think because she was such a fashion icon in her day. Was beautiful. But there are quite a few awkward parts. :(
