Aaaah yayyy I'm so glad you're joining in on the spencer fun! 😍😍
ALSO WAIT I didn't know you worked for Susan too?!?! :oooo
It was the best I could do to help, as I do not do any regency era myself😅 also I have never had the chance to meet Susan😭 on all three productions of Wicked she was never there. But I did got to work with Alyce Gilbert though ❤️
To be honest, rather an any film or stage costume, it’s been the Costubers, here on youtube, who have inspired me the most.
Aaaaw thank you☺️❤️
My biggest costume inspiration was a youth theatre production I was in as a teenager! I was in the musical version of A Christmas Carol and I got to wear the most extraordinary blue/green shot taffeta 1850s dress. The bodice of the dress was trimmed with vintage bobbin lace and I had a bonnet to match. Everybody else was complaining about their 'ugly' costumes and I was in heaven! I knew then that my future wasn't in performing but costume. Years later, on a completely different job in a different part of the country, MY DRESS from all those years ago turned up! The dress had been hired from the company I was now working for. It was a magical moment and a sign that I absolutely made the decision 💚
Oooh I love it when things come full circle❤️
Watching outlander really awakened my love for 1700's fashion.
Lord of rings and Narnia inspire me for fantasy costumes. On a more historical side, the film "La princesse de Montpensier" is one of my favorite !
One of my absolute favourites for sure is ”Gone With the Wind”!
When Scarlett shows up in her green curtain dress - well that’s just too good!
This one and many, many, many more are huge inspirations for me.
✨
The latest, or newest I should say, love for this is the new ”Emma” movie (2020).
The white dress with green/golden silk is jawdropping gorgeous. Well everything in that movie is just beautiful. Not only the costumes or the directing - just everything!
The series "Game of Thrones" was the biggest inspiration for me. I was delighted with those outfits that I began to learn to sew and embroider - so much so that I was sewing an outfit inspired by the Cersei dress. It was thanks to these costumes that I started to get interested in costumes and probably this series will always have a special place in my heart.
Hope my comment is understandable - I'm not good at learning languages, so I'm helping myself with a translator.
Inspiration comes from everywhere- from movies to series to fashion shows to historical garments in museums, it's the making of it which is hard and time consuming. Sometimes I'm overwhelmed with inspiration, my mind taking notes on how to create what, and then I'm just stuck in place, unable to move. My biggest inspiration is definitely Gone with the Wind, with huge flowy skirts, but Merilla's costumes in Anne with an E is to die for. Those are so simple and practical!
Ah yes, I can relate. I have often said that I am one of the world's greatest thieves because if I can see it, I can sew it. I don't know, I think the way you Frankenstein things together is pretty dang original! Aw, I bought my Hamilton Spencer a couple of weeks ago. WHAT A GREAT CAUSE!! Stay well!
Some of my biggest inspiration has been Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet, Ms. Fisher Murder Mysteries. The 1970' Agatha Christie movies Death on the Nile, Evil under the sun, and Murder on the Orient Express. The BBC Poirot series.
Mine's really a specific dress, but researching the cocktail dress in All About Eve really made me realize what Edith Head was doing and how important costumes are to films. (And then costube motivated me to actually make things myself, so thank you for that!)
The Nutcracker (specifically the Houston Ballet version) The costumes had been very fluffy and fairy like for several years but they adapted another staging and costume design that looks more like historical costumes and I love it. It looks "old" but in a refreshing way! And Hamilton the musical is so inspirational gets me emotional - the music gets me every time!
Hamilton
"Elizabeth" and "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" are both big inspirations for me, as is "Marie Antoinette" and "Outlander". What can I say? I'm a sucker for stays and my final form may or may not be conical.
"It's almost like the costume is trying to lure me to the Dark Side and I'm like 'heck yeah!'" is the biggest mood. Also, if you create you're creative, whether it's from a new concept up or not. Don't sell yourself short for wanting to recreate things! (And those Alice designs were stunning!) 💕
The first movie that made me fall in love with the costumes was Crimson Peak.
Ooh love the costume design of that production 😍
Titanic inspired me a lot. But also Mary Poppins and definitely Hamilton. Hamilton really is *chefs kiss*. 😍
Oh there’s so many inspiring movies/shows! Crimson peak, I’m also a big fan of Wicked, Colleen Atwood’s work for the Alice in Wonderland movies or just Colleen Atwood’s work in general, Lion King(Julie Taymor), Six the musical, Penny Dreadful and so many more!
The animated beauty and the beast was my first costume inspiration movie...then it evolved to just about anything historical or whimsical. So currently Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, Bridgerton, and Lord of the Rings are all at the top.
History, Jane Austen novels and all you CosTubers are what inspires me. Hamilton too.
Thank you😊
What a great video. One can hardly notice that you prefer to be behind the stage.
🙈hihi thank you❤️
I’ve always loved Disney movies, especially those with a darker tone like The Black Cauldron. More recently, Emma (2020) and The Dragon Prince have taken my interest. Claudia’s spiked shoulders scream Regency spencer to me!
Oooh what an excellent idea to use the spencer pattern for👌🏻
Chicago was definitely a formative movie production since my teenage years :) Thank you for this
Always and forever Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette ❤️👸🏼👸🏼👸🏼
🎂❤️
The Jane Austen movies inspired me a lot to sew Regency fashion 😍
In over 40 years of creating period clothing (as we used to call it) I have been inspired by many movies and TV shows. Recently, I was inspired by Vanity Fair (2018) because they provide us with many reasonable interpretations of every day, average female attire. Most dramas set in the Regency period focus on fashions of the upper classes. My interest lies primarily with recreating clothing for impressions of women from the lower to middle classes. Thank you for this interesting video!
I've always loved movies and theatre productions and I've been really missing going to theatres. I've been inspired by the style of Cabaret and before I started sewing, Sense and Sensibility (1995) was the first movie I watched which made me think, "I got to get me one of those dresses."
Labyrinth will always be my inspiration, the colors, the beading, whole feel of the movie. And of course theres 'Legend' with Tom cruise.. Jeez! These make me feel old! hahaha
Beauty and the beast, the Witcher games and the Lord of the Rings movies are big inspirations for me, I love their colour palettes and like to imagine the characters in historical settings 😊
I am mostly inspired by The Cronichles of Narnia. But I take inspiration from a lot of places and mash it up until I really can't tell where everything came from.
I’m so inspired by the costumes in Wicked! I had seen the show but hadn’t looked at the costumes too closely until I was costuming Urinetown at a local theater. I took a lot of inspiration for the ‘rich’ costumes I needed to make from the costumes in wicked and the ‘capitol’ costumes in the Hunger Games. Taking a closer look at the Wicked costumes for inspiration made me realize how truly amazing they are and how much work goes into different shows, which led me to looking into the costumes from other shows as well!
Really interesting to see how you got into it all!
I think the first film that really got me into liking historical costumes was "The Slipper and the Rose", the gorgeous Cinderella musical that is set around 1770-ish, in central Europe (the fantasy kingdom of Euphrania, which is presumably one of the Austrian Empire). I don't really do costume making (I've been making secret pyjamas during lockdown), but my wedding dress was definitely historybounding before that was ever a thing; with a central bodice panel and central skirt panel of embroidered silk... so imitating the classic overdress/underdress look. And a full petticoat!
My biggest inspiration, at least for my graduation pieces, was Hans Christian Andersen himself, the author of the Little Mermaid. I created him as a young author as well as a 30 years - later version of himself meaning I had to create two different silhouettes for the same model!!! I love working from paintings and photographs but also can't wait to finally recreate something from broadway!
I loved learning how you get your inspiration and "Frankenstein" ideas from different places to create one complete garment. Studio Ghibli films have always inspired me, so much that I've recreated costumes of San from "Princess Mononoke" and Sophie from "Howl's Moving Castle."
I love the costumes in “Willow”, part historically inspired and part fantasy. (Oh, and Robin Hood too!).
The movie that really got me into making and wearing historical inspired clothing most definitely was Mary Poppins. I saw the costumes they wore and fell in love. 💕 (+ every time I am wearing my Mary Poppins inspired garments I feel a bit like Mary Poppins😂)
Oooooh Mary Poppins!! I think we broke our VHS from watching it so many times!! I love that movie❤️
that is a great pattern! my huge inspiration is all the 1930s everyday dresses Celia wears in the "Last Tycoon"
I had always loved the Costumes in Gone with the wind but Sense and Sensibility (1995) inspired me to start my historical sewing journey.
S&S 1995 was what started it all for me❤️ Col. BRANDON baby! #Always
@@Leeam Col. Brandon forever!
As a Jane Austen Fan, I find P&P1995 and Emma2020 very inspiring, though I haven’t had the courage yet! Also the Babylon Berlin Series, Night Watch adaptation of Sarah Waters novel. But the earliest inspiration is the Secret Garden with Maggie Smith! The atmosphere, silhouette/design (as mostly servants, very practical for daily life) even Mary’s knitted hat. This film has lived in my head since I first saw it.
Love me some neat servants uniforms❤️
I find inspiration more in fashion plates, paintings and original garments and of cause here on RUclips. I always thought that the costumes of "mirror, mirror" are amazing.
Fashion plates are an excellent inspiration 👌🏻❤️ and yes, Mirror mirror❤️
"And Peggy"
While I have yet to make a costume from this particular period, I am blown away by the costumes in "The King and I" every time I watch it. I thought it was telling that when my daughter was three years old, she loved to watch it. She called it, "The King and Dresses".
Absolutely stunning costumes! Movie as well as the theatrical production ❤️👌🏻
The one movie and theatre play that come to my mind always Mary Poppins. I love all the color and magic. And the mildly reminder for me that you do not have not be that serious as Banks dad :D
I loved the stage adaptation of Mary Poppins and the diffrent story they tell with Miss Andrew. My favorite moment always was when the toys came to live and step in time. Loved watching Bert go up on the ceiling from the wings every night
I definitely have to go with the Lion King! It was the first Broadway show that I ever saw, and was just as magical to experience at age 28 as it was at age 12!
Absolutely, excellent piece of engineered craftsmanship 👌🏻❤️
I’m just starting on my costuming journey. I’m finding inspiration in movies like Mary poppins, live action Disney movies and theater. I’m also finding inspiration and a wealth of knowledge from the costubers
So many movies have inspired me! "Marie Antoinette", "Dracula", "Emma" (2020), "Pride and Prejudice" (2005), "Crimson Peak"...
Excellent productions for inspiration ❤️
The first show that inspired me? The film versions of Funny Girl and Hello Dolly. But the first costume I made for myself as a girl of 12 was inspired by Little house on the prarie...
Ooh such classics 😍😍😍
@@Leeam just shows how old I am ... and that I was and am a huge fan of Barbra Streisand.
I love seeing your design process! I’m inspired by fantasy/80’s movies. Xanadu, Labyrinth, The Never Ending Story, The Wiz. 💗💗
Thank you❤️ loving the retro inspiration
Loved this, my most inspiring show for the costume so far, I love Wicked but as a close second The Lion King.
💚"Wicked!"🎶 All of the characters, the costumes, the set design, the songs, everything filled me with so much inspiration and hope...and they still do! I'm constantly singing the songs throughout the day. Among many other things, this musical helps me believe in my dreams and gives me the courage chase after them. I even used a lyric from "Defying Gravity" as my senior quote back when I was in high school!
Love the video, Nikki, and congratulations on your growing success ❤
Aww Thank you😊 yes Wicked has so many layers to love. Not surprised it’s still popular to this day❤️
My go to inspiration for the 1860s from movies is from Gone with the Wind and a mini series North and South. Though these days the inspiration most comes from my gg grandmother and g grandmother.
Like many I get a lot of inspirations from movies and shows like, "Marie Antoinette", "Black Butler", "Gossip Girl", and "Cinderella" (Live Action). Just to name a few.
My biggest inspirations currently are Sophia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette and the show Harlots, which I’ve been watching recently and made me fall in love with the gowns of the era *and* finally try my hand at sewing! One day I will have my own beautiful robe a la française 🥰 Oh, and how could I forget Emma (2020)!
I loved the whimsicalness in Marie Antoinette, it never felt out of place
Thank you for sharing some of your design process journey with us! I've already purchased the spencer pattern, but I so hope that you hit 8K subscribers soon as I'm sure the winners of your giveaway will be so happy!
Thank you for supporting the coalition❤️
My first costume ever will be inspired by the documentary "Kalmar Nyckel - The Forgotten Voyage", since next time I sail this gorgeous ship I want to do so in costume. That adds the difficulty that besides looking 17th century, the costume must be practical for sailing AND in uniform colors. It will definitely be frankensteined!
Ooh what an excellent challenge!! ❤️
Inspiration I'd probably the jane austin movies! Mostly because they fuel my love of historical stories which has been the driving force for me creating historical outfits. But probably you could also consider disney's beauty and the beast and cinderella too because of the drive to create "historically appropriate" versions of their dresses
Excellent inspirations❤️❤️
A Discovery of Witches is the show that got me started on costuming. ETA the Broadway show that sparked my interest in costuming, history, and literature as a teenager long ago was the magnificent Les Miserables. #swoon
Ah I still need to watch that show! And yes Les misérables 👌🏻 a classic
I saw Wicked in London. 😃 Your ‘upside down’ rose dress is fabulous!
Thank you☺️
I actually draw a lot of my inspiration from video games. After playing as a charecter for hours, I get curious about their costumes, and want to try my hand at making them
NICE!! Until I started playing sea of thieves I never would have thought about cosplaying from a game
Thank you for the video and the giveaway. For me it's the Robin Hood movie from 1938 (still the best of all of them) and the BBC Pride and Prejudice from 1995.
Aww fabulous video. Love the Hamilton spencer jacket.
Thank you ☺❤
@@Leeam welcome
Wow, so hard to pick one example.... But I have to go with Cher in Burlesque, because, well.... Cher;)
It was very interesting seeing your design process. As for my inspiration, I took a intro to drama course my first semester of college and never looked back. Our production of Twelfth Night solidified my love of costuming.
Thank you 😊 and keep following your heart ❤️
This was lovely, it's fun to see some of your older designs come by, I vaguely remember admiring them online at some point ;). In historical costuming I definitely look more at fashion plates and extant examples, but I can't deny that my very first fantasy dresses were heavily LotR inspired. Those definitely had an impact back then :). (Also, nice dress! ;) )
Hahaha oh dear🙈🙈🙈 and I can totally see you in LOTR vibe costumes❤️
Wellllll let's see Cate Blanchett's 1998 Elizabeth, Ever After, Moulin Rouge, Titanic, more recently Emma 2020, and Bridgerton. I never thought I'd want to do regency but man have I been inspired lately.
All of those are on my inspiration list too😍😍😍👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the giveaway ! One movie that really inspired me is 2005 Pride and Prejudices, my first costume/cosplay was Lizzie's brown dress (and is an actual disaster aha) !
In was very interesting to hear about your process and inspiration.
My Biggest inspiration is the 2017 Little women mini series which has AMAZING costumes! I'm recreating one of meg's dresses now for an event coming up!
Oh that is one version I still have to watch❤️
@@Leeam You definitely should! ☺️❤️
My biggest inspirations are "Howl's Moving Castle", "When Marnie Was There", and "Avatar"/"The Legend of Korra". I also really love looking at fantasy art for inspiration.
Oh my gosh! And "Over the Garden Wall" of course.
Ghibli!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ awesome inspiration
Thanks for doing this! I love 18th century costuming so of course Hamilton is a favorite inspiration! Cliche, but honest. :)
Hamilton is 👌🏻 (insert Rachel Maksy’s Chef kiss)
I just found your channel after researching how to do cartridge pleats. It was so helpful, explained so clearly I HAD to subscribe. I already love you ! Thank you for everything you put st our disposition !
As for me, I fell in love with the costumes from the Pride and Prejudice mini serie. It was so right, I wanted every piece of clothing ! I really like Regency fashion, it goes so well with my lazy, float, comfort but still pretty and put together style.
Once again thank you and I'll follow you closely ! Take care !
This was so interesting to know more about your creative process !
One of my favorite inspiration is Eiko Ishioka especially her costumes for The Fall !
Oh I loved her designs for mirror mirror 🍎
There are so many shows and movies that have inspired me, but some of them have been "Oliver Twist" when I saw that movie at the age of eight, I wanted to look like the artful dodger and wear a top hat all the time. I also was really inspired by "EMMA." from 2020 and "Downton abbey"
Beautiful costume designs from all those productions ❤️ and Artful Dodger is such a fun character
First movie that sent me dreaming about working with costumes was Lord of the Rings. I had a beautiful book on costumes from it and how they were made and all. It was fun to see photos of buckets of silicone hobbit feet and walls of ork masks!
Same!! I had actually had fabric cut out for Eowyn, but never finished it😅
Funny, I actually never thought of making the costumes myself back then. My humble self just wanted to be a part of the fun on the set, maybe helping people dress or doing their makeup. Took me 15 years to actually start making costumes myself.
For the costume community this will sound so wrong but my biggest inspiration was Reign bc was my starting point into historical fantasy. I loved the show as story line and later started seen the costume mistake but still the reason why I got so deep into it!
No one should judge you for liking, loving or finding inspiration in whatever❤️ you do you❤️
I am so very new to costuming that I can't say I've made anything inspired yet, but some day I'd love to make a coat inspired by one of PT Barnum's in The Greatest Showman
Everyone starts out somewhere or shomehow😉 we’ll be there rooting from the side line for you❤️
I actually am mostly inspired by the RUclips costum community, since I don't watch that many movies.
Aaawww thank you😊
I really want to make the stripy dress from "Meet me is st. Louis" I love that movie.
Oooh yes!! I got some of that movie on my bucket list too!!
My design inspiration for clothes and costumes? Sort of a blend of The Scarlet Pimpernel (1980), The Great Gatsby (1974), and Brideshead Revisited (1980). Definitely no theme of lost youth here....
What absolute marvelous productions to draw inspiration from👌🏻
@@Leeam only the best....ish
My inspirations usually come from games, anime and other movies but has extended to books and old paintings and fashion plates. I am currently making a costume based on the Grimm's fairytale Star Money for the Foundations Revealed competition and after that I plan to make some Ghibli movie inspired costumes. In 2020 I started to watch more historical costumers and I think that somewhat influenced my cosplay making :)
Ooh I’ll look forward to see your FR entry❤️
late to the party but i rewatched firebringer last week and while obviously not historical, it has reminded me that it's okay to have a little fun with a subject you're transforming and that not everything needs to be historically accurate. sometimes it's hard not to get swept away by that nagging perfectionism when making a piece.
Starting from when I was young, the two movies that inspired me the most for historical fashion were "Titanic" and "Tuck Everlasting". While "Tuck Everlasting" wasn't exactly historically accurate, the silhouette of both of the movies are relatively similar (both are set, obviously for Titanic, in the teens). It was a slippery slope from there.
Fun fact! In Tuck Everlasting Winnie wears Rose’s pink sinking coat❤️
@@Leeam holy smokes! I never realized it when I watched it! What a fun recycle, and totally fits both movies based on the dates. This just made my day, now I'm going to go watch both :D
Some of the movies that have inspired me have been "The Princess and The Pirate", "Sound of Music", "Oklahoma" and "Robin Hood" (Errol Flynn), and any film with Doris Day, Katherine Hepburn, and Rita Hayworth. Honestly, any film with a good costume design is an inspiration for me!
Well, considering almost all my costumes have been for saber guild, the biggest one would be star wars. My first four saber guild costumes were an ode to the four elements from Avatar the Last Airbender with some additional inspiration from the 1977 Suspiria for the fire sith and earth jedi. Current project inspiration is definetly from Eiko's work in Brahm Stoker's Dracula. God, those aren't historically accurate but they sure are gorgeous!
He! No one ever said it had to be historicaly accurate 😂❤️
I'm only just getting started with actual sewing of garments, but I've been inspired since childhood by Anne of Green Gables (1980's version). In more recent years Pride & Predudice (1990's version), Ever After, Victoria & Albert (2001), and of course most recently Emma have re-affirmed my love of history.
It’s never to late to pursue your passions or get creative with what inspires you❤️ excellent inspiration 👌🏻
Oh I forgot Terry Dressbach Outlander
Also great costuming!❤️
With how you envision a costume into being, I will have to disagree with you.. To see all those bits and pieces and put them together into one coherent, cohesive anything does, in fact, mean you are very creative.. You have a wonderful eye and are so talented. Thank you so much for sharing the explanation of your process as well as how you got into costuming
😅🙈 thank you ❤️
I agree: pulling together disparate sources to make something new and unique is a kind of creativity.
So... I am a new sewer (?)... new to sewing (that sounds better). I don’t have a visual inspiration other than the Costubers I have discovered during covidtimes. BUT... I am very inspired by books that I read and how I imagine the character’s look in my head. Lots of steam punk, fantasy, sci-fi all mixed together in a very distressed, bad*** dystopian type way. ❤️❤️❤️ Like, how cool would dystopian Victorian or Edwardian be?! Distressed leather “armor”, hidden pointy knives, disheveled hair, etc.
Ooh otherworldly Frankensteining it!! I like it!!❤️
I have already purchased the pattern and don't need to be in the giveaway, but I am planning to make a 50s glamour Bulbasaur cosplay.
Absolutely fantastic video Nikki! :) I loved list you used to approach a costume
Anytime mate 😉❤️ love yah!
Though if I ever get to come to the Netherlands, please cosplay with me ;)
We can do it in an 1830s inspired popular character ;)
Oh and I forgot to add that the show that inspired me the most for costumes was wicked as well... I have certainly toyed with the idea to tackle one!
I will tackle you the moment you set foot on Dutch soil! 🤣 I would love to do a cosplay with you, 1830s or not❤️ and Yaay for Wicked!
I've always loved the costumes in The Age of Innocence, Marie Antoinette and the costumes from The Duchess. I also love 1940's-1950's fashion.
Excellent inspirations ❤️❤️👌🏻👌🏻
The first movie I watched that filled me with inspiration to sew was gone with the wind, I love the first dress scarlett wore and the barbeque dress. I just love big fluffy white dresses that look like you're coasting on clouds
I have to admit. That I have never seen that movie while consciously aware😅 I do remember vaguely I might have seen it as a wee one 👶🏻
Wicked!!
I think I am not so much inspired by movies and shows, as books. Especially historical fictions. I love taking historical fantasies, like The Infernal Devices and The Last Hours by Cassandra Clare, or Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco and creating outfits of what the characters would have worn! I like taking patterns and mixing elements to make them fit what I've imagined.
Excellent inspirational sources👌🏻❤️
The ballet “Firebird” most inspired me as a child to create beautiful garments. Thank you for the video- it was pleasant as always c:
Ooh firebird!! I loved that production! We actually hired the American Ballet theatre’s costumes when the Dutch national ballet did that production.
Like a lot of autistic people - including me - you probably have “leaky” sensory gating (except during hyperfocus), and the way we are creative is by putting together disparate sources of inspiration in novel ways. People whose sensory gating is a lot more selective (the ones who don’t mind that there are four different conversations going on in the room while they’re working) tend to have more “out of nothing” ideas instead, but can’t pull inspiration from their surroundings as easily, so there are strengths and weaknesses to both, and it’s a good thing that humans aren’t all one type of creative or the other.
I love to hear working process, it was amazing know the inspiration behind the final outfits. One of my first inspiration for recreate a garment was Anne of Green Gables (the one with Megan Follows) and later, BBC's Pride and Prejudice 1995. Special mention: the green curtain dress from Gone with the wind, I used to dress myself with curtains and pretend I was Scarlet XD. I wish I could buy that Barbie Collection with the dress, it was amazing. I'm in Argentina so we never get it :(.
I think the BBC P&P got alot of us inspired 😅 and yes to curtains dress up👌🏻❤️
@@Leeam Pride and Prejudice from BBC was such a miracle. In this days we are used to see historical fiction, but in that time those dresses, the bonnets, the wet shirt XD, it is a fun mix of memories :D.
Do you know the curtain rod dress from Carol Burnett's Went With The Wind? Perfection
@@sharpduds Yes! So funny and iconic!
@@gabymargall Saw it in the window and just Had to Have it!
Shows that have inspired me are "Game of Thrones" (the early seasons) and "The Legends". Mo Quing's wardrobe is just beautiful.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I want that pattern to support but also to make it.. right now I can't afford it 😅 .. 🤞
My latest inspiration has been The Lord of the Rings as I introduced my son to a whole new world of fantasy. .
And what I world t9 be introduced to❤️❤️🧝🏻♂️🧙🏻♂️
The costumes in Emma 2020 are a huge inspiration for me.
The design, styling and execution of the costumes of Emma were👌🏻 chefs kiss
I disagree. Frankensteining does involve creativity. You have a Muse, you sketch it out and choose the fabric and voilà a new creation.
I have so many shows that have influence my costuming from Sandy Powell in Shakespeare in Love - the Judi Dench Peacock Gown and her use of Fortuny in Wings of the Dove and Ngila Dickson in all 3 Lord of the Rings but now I'm binging on Bridgerton.
Sandy Powell is my idol😅❤️👌🏻
Far too many to actually list, but a lot of the things that have actually made it out of the sewing machine, its been fashion plates and period photography.
And My Fair Lady, isn't that the most basic?
