"So...a needle pulling thread"

One of my passions in life is costumes. Not just cheap-o costumes made of plastic and crushed velvet, but like movie costumes. Maybe I should say I like period clothing from movies...yes that's better. Start over...One of my passions in life is period clothing from movies (and in some cases periods from other worlds). I would love to be able to buy luxurious fabric and just make wonderful dresses. Here are some dresses I want to make...



As you can probably tell this dress is from Ever After. I love the over layer, under layer look. And I love the sleeves, they are so pretty. This is top on my list of dresses to make.

Next...

This dress is from Emma. I love all the dresses from Emma. But I really like the sage in this dress and the lace over lay and the bow.


Gone With the Wind dress...obviously. This one might be a little ambitious...but I'm dreamin' big. Plus this is kind of her hussy outfit in the movie. But I like it, that's all there is to it.

This is the outfit from the last scene in Gladiator (incidentally my favorite movie...edited) I like all the outfits from this movie but I like the corset top on this one. I love how it's all flowy.

Only two more (for now)...


This is from Star Wars. So beautiful! I just noticed that this dress looks very similar to the Gladiator gown...hmmmm....PS I'm not super crazy about the earmuffs though.


And last but no least...



This is from Enchanted (one of my other favorite movies...unedited). I love the blue and the embroidery.

Well these are some of the dresses I want to make. There are more...but more on that later.

PS I've considered becoming a costume designer...unfortunately BYU does not have that major or really anything close.
