I also love this thread, but this is my favorite response so far. It strikes
so close to home.

I have several projects working,
1. redressing an inexpensive porcelan doll - my granddaughter opted
for the pretty witch for her Halloween/birthday party. She'll be
dressed in purple satin, lots of sparkly tulle in black and purple
with a broom of purple silk flowers.
2. Landsknetch for my son.

On the sewing table (currently playing the part of my dummy) are a 13th c.
gown in dark blue wool that needs hemming and readjusting the dratted neck

I think you're supposed to be wearing 3 to 4 heels with any pair of pants.
There's no accounting for the other proportional issues. I'm 5'3 and too
wide in my middle aged middle so petit pants are too short in the crotch and
average ones are 4 inches too long in the leg.

Well, this is sort of OT, but not quite. We're invited to a Halloween
party, where the theme is movie characters, and the sub-theme is
something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

patterns. I really like this

I've been preoccupied with surgery and other things this year, so my projects
have been more modest. On the Hanger of Doom right now; A Viking caftan
that I plan to sew trim onto in archaeologically plausible patterns.
Also in the works; Imperial Roman underwear; a stola; a 16th C Venetian
These are very Hollywood, but if you don't mind that, go for it.
Well, yes. The theme is movie characters, they're supposed to be Hollywood...
Thank you for all the suggestions. I'll see what I come up with... Of
course, we might also end up going as Alice and the Cheshire cat, or
Lara Croft
Ya know, I think this is the best answer yet!

How about a real old western? Destry Rides Again with Marlene Dietrch
Jimmy Stewart. (yeah, I know, Jimmy Stewart does not bring to mind
western, now does he?) This outfit definitely reminds me of one of her
outfits in that movie :)

I couldn't find a movie with that title. I can find a few she played
in and a few about her life. Which one were you thinking of?
