Re: [h-cost] Movie Recommendation from a Spy
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. :~) Katy On Sun, Dec 27, 2009 at 9:03 PM, Chiara Francesca chiara.france...@gmail.com wrote: Yep, the two movies I want to see for dresses is this one and Young Victoria.

Re: [h-cost] Movie Recommendation from a Spy
The skirt must have been falling off and no one noticed in the outdoor shot. :~) When we did the 1st shot of Last of the Mohicans (a scene in Albany) we in the shop wondered down to the set to see how everyone looked all done up i hair and makeup and surrounded by the set. It was like Lights! Camera! Ac! STOP! That was us from the shop yelling stop. Cpt Heyward had a manilla tag pinned to the CF of his coat with Sc 124 scrawled on it in Sharpie! No one had noticed. Not the on set wardrobe crew, not the camera operator or the DP or the director. -Original Message- From: Katy Bishop katybisho...@gmail.com To: Historical Costume h-cost...@indra.com Sent: Wed, Dec 30, 2009 11:45 am Subject: Re: [h-cost] Movie Recommendation from a Spy We went to see Sherlock Holmes last night.
