I think there's something so captivating about period costumes in the rain. There are moments I wish I could wear a gorgeous dress and cloak and then go out in a drenching rain and just get soaked. For some reason I've always thought the rain so romantic. Even if one does catch cold. ;)
Maybe it's because those tend to be the climatic moments in film. Anytime something important happens...it rains. ;)
There's something about muddy skirts that I love as well. Makes it look and feel so real. Like the costumes are real clothing and not just a costume. Makes you believe in the story that's taking place.
I think if I'm ever a real designer and I do photo shoots of my work, it will be in the rain. ;)
Lovely post! Now it makes me wish for rain. =)
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I too would gladly go out in the rain dressed up in period costume if it meant that I would be carried away by Colonel Brandon, or proposed to by Mr. Darcy! :P
ReplyDeleteThe look on Rickman/Brandon's face in that photo is priceless - you can just see the strain, LOL! And Kate Winslet, beautiful as she is, wouldn't be the lightest woman to have to carry around. . . at least David Morissey's Colonel seems a bit more sturdily built and up to the task of carrying Marianne. . .
Haha, yes, Alan Rickman's face is indeed priceless! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of mine and my mom's favorite movie! I think rain makes movies more romantic.:)

Have you seen the newer version of Sense and Sensiblity? Most of the clothes look very similar to P&P 2005. Especially Elizabeth's brown dress
