Durango

I used to watch this movie all the time when I was younger...but it's really hard to find now for some reason. I finally found a used VHS copy online and I watched it for the first time in years the other night...and yep, I still love it. And I still love the costumes. Now I want to knit a sweater even more!

These are the only pictures I could find online:

I hope they come out with a DVD one of these days...Have any of you seen it?

I just love the clothes in the 1940's. Especially in Wales and Ireland. We need to bring this style back. ;) I'm going to do it! Sweet knitted cardigans with skirts. I think it might already be in style... but I'm so out of the fashion loop these days I don't even know.

The Edge of Love

I know I've already posted about this before. But I just can't get enough of these flowered dresses, wooly cardigans and rubber wellies in The Edge of Love. Ah...to be Welsh.

How cute are they?

Yes...I'm going to bring this style back. Just watch me. ;)

Nicole Kidman Costumes Over The Years

(Nicole Kidman in the 2008 film Australia)

I love Nicole Kidman. Not only that, I love looking at all the costume films she's been in over the years. I thought I'd list some here with a few pictures. One day I'll possibly do more in depth study on individual costumes and even show more pictures of costumes I'm not showing. I really can't wait to make some of these on day. But I'm trying to force myself to finish what I've already started before I get off on any more projects.


Alright, enough about that...here they are....

Far and Away (1992)

I love this film but I can't seem to find very many pictures of costumes. But I love the ruffle at the bottom of this dress:

The Portrait of a Lady (1996)

I haven't seen this film but I love this dress. I might do a more in depth study of it one day.

Moulin Rouge (2001)

This is one of my favorite dresses which I've already done a bit of planning to make. You may see bits of it in the future:

And how cute is this?

And I'm in love....IN LOVE with this grey suit:

Cold Mountain (2003)

Another of her films I haven't seen but I love the costumes in! I've heard many people say the costumes aren't that authentic...but they sure are lovely!

I don't really see anything wrong with this dress though, it looks right to me! Don't you love it?

I love this bonnet:

I really want to make this dress one day: (I love the criss-cross pattern on the sleeve and also on the hem of the skirt) I'm thinking the unauthentic part of this one is the sleeves. They aren't drop shoulder and I'm not sure they made them that tight fitting.

And then my favorite...which I decided last night I AM making one day soon.

Ooooh....I just love that embroidered trim.

The Golden Compass (2007)

I only saw half of this film but I'm so smitten with this coat:

Australia (2008)

Then my most recent favorite Nicole Kidman film, Australia:

This is so beautiful:

I love this dress:

I think she looks amazing in these 1940's skirts and blouses:

Droving:
Stunning:

There are so many more costumes from all of these films that I didn't list so that I wouldn't overwhelm you with the world's longest post. But these are a few I adore and I hope you enjoyed them.

Well, I'm off to make Christmas presents! Sorry I haven't posted about projects much lately. After Christmas I'll have a lot to show and tell! :)

In the meantime, don't forget to sign up for my GIVEAWAY if you haven't already.

Happy Christmas season!

Love this...

I love this picture from the film 'The Edge of Love'. I think the mix of cute feminine dresses with wellies is perfection. I just can't get over how darling it looks. :)

Love the costume on the right!

Tomboyish Femininity

For some reason, I'm absolutely in love with the contrast of this outfit Keira Knightley wears in the film Atonement. I love the combination of the folded down wellies with the floral skirt and sweater.
It's almost a mix of tomboy and feminine. I just love it. :)
