Hi folks, Has anyone here ever made Professor McGonagall's outfit from Goblet of Fire, the Yule Ball scene? Forever ago I saw some pics from an exhibition where someone had photographed the over-gown, but I can't now find them. I'm trying to put together resources to recreate the ensemble as closely as possible and at the moment am trying to figure out what fabrics. It looks as if the over-robe is a sort of deep olive green shading toward more pine-ish colours, and that the fabric is partly horizontal stripes (or small tucks, which would rock for coolness factor!) and partly that pre-tucked doupioni I see in the stores from time to time, with a diamond pattern. How far off base am I? Online there's a surprising lack of close-up pics of her in those scenes, almost always from a distance.
Also, if anyone has thoughts on which black undergown folks think she's wearing underneath, and how one would go about making those astonishing stand-up shoulders on the overgown... I would love to hear it. :) Fortunately I have a year before the outfit is needed, but Chief Procrastinator to the Emperor as I am, I really want to get started sooner rather than later.... A friend dared me to make her undergarments either plaid or trimmed in plaid, but I'm not sure I'd want to annoy a witch of her skill with such daring.... lol....
