We went to see Sherlock Holmes last night. The most interesting and amusing part of the movie for me from a costume standpoint, aside from the lovely ladies fitted cloaks and Irene's flirty red and blue ruffled bustle, was Watson's fiance's skirt. At the end of the movie, as she is walking up to Holmes' house, her skirt is about 6 inches too long and dragging in the muck on the sidewalk, I lean over to my husband and mention that her skirt is too long, but as he looks up she is walking into the house and her skirt is now, miraculously, the perfect length. The skirt must have been falling off and no one noticed in the outdoor shot. :~)
