Over the weekend, I saw a costume exhibit at an art museum. Here is a costume that Johnny Depp wore in one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Most of the costumes were dresses, and most of the dresses were very elaborate pieces of craftsmanship.
I really like the monochromatic details in this wedding dress from a Jane Eyre movie. |
This dress has so many pleats, layers, patterns, and textures. |
Which is less flattering:The jelly-roll arms or the form-swallowing waist that drapes from above the bra line? |
Many of the costumes were just impractical.
Please, I need at least 60 inches of floor space at all times. |
No sitting in this gown. |
If the dress reflects red on the wall, the red is certain to reflect on a woman's skin as well. Woo-hoo for a ruddy complexion! |
Many of the dresses featured fur elements.
Something simple to keep my hands warm. |
"Feathers are not enough! Quick, add some fox tails!" |
Proper accessories include a pin, a hat, and a fox fur complete with a head and four legs. |

Think how much you could eat in that no waist dress :) I wish I could try all those dresses on. Don't you think that would be fun?
I thought the same thing while I was at the museum. I told one of the docents that they could improve the exhibit by allowing us to try on the costumes. She laughed at me.
