One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Oscar Winners

Barry Lyndon / Marisa Berenson as Lady Honoria Lyndon

Year: 1975

Designers: Milena Canonero and Ulla-Britt Söderlund

It's interesting how there are certain periods that pop up over and over again in the Academy Award-winning costume designs. The 1920s are one of them, and the 18th century (as a whole) is another.

I had never seen this film before watching parts of it to make screencaps. I see why people say that every frame looks like a painting! She could have stepped right out of a Gainsborough canvas. The movie covers the period from the 1750s to the late 1780s.

Lady Lyndon wears this brown day dress in a brief scene where she comes to say goodbye to her husband before going out for the day with her children. The deep frill of lace around the collar is very attractive. But it's the hat that really draws focus, with the satin bow and ostrich feathers.

posting this before season 2's here, from a sketch I did right after season 1: Aziraphale and Crowley eating crêpes in Brittany (and not in Paris because that is not where they are the best :P) if you ever visit Brittany go in a crêperie ! (no I'm not even Breton haha)

One Dress a Day Challenge

October: White Redux

Orlando / Tilda Swinton as Orlando

Orlando is seen trying on this gown soon after waking up in the eighteenth century as a woman. Frock Flicks objects to it on the basis that wide panniers of this sort were only for court dress. While this is true, we don't really know the context of why she is wearing the dress in the movie; she was accustomed to spend a lot of time at court in her earlier time as a man, so why wouldn't she have a court dress made, and perhaps spend some time getting used to walking around in it? I do agree that that central bit at the bottom of the petticoat looks a little odd, but I think it's trick of the light that makes it look shorter than it is.

I'm including a couple of shots of her shift and stays from the dressing scene. I've also included a close-up showing the texture of the material.
