I thought "Dangerous Liasons" was one of the better costume movies - **************** It is yummy and delicious with chocolate sauce and a cherry! James Acheson, the designer, always demanded to see the research for whatever we were making for extras and bit players when I worked with him on "Last of the Mohicans". But if a polyester was "right" for the look he wanted, he'd use it [though I must say he prefers silks and linen]. He is concerned with character 1st of all. Glen Close's silk gowns are accurate to a degree. But, for instance, the French backs are cut to make them more flattering. Each set of pleats on each side of CB are cut separately. They are two long gores...wider at the bottom than the pleated up top. This makes her gown sweep up the stair more gracefully than the traditional straight panel....which you actually see in Michelle Pfeiffer's more modest gowns. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
