Movie costumes...

[lovetriangle]

Well, I made it down to FIDM on Wednesday to get a quick look at the Skeeter Suit... It's basically just a straight pencil skirt with a back slit, ending at the middle of the calf muscle. SOOOOOOO glad I drove all the way downtown to see that. *rolls eyes* They had the suit in a cluster of mannequins, positioned in such a way that any real view I could have gotten of the back was blocked by Cho & Fleur's dresses. Still, I was able to see some seaming on the coat that I hadn't seen in photos. The back has a waist seam like a peplum. Interesting.

I also saw the shoes she wore with it which was cool because you NEVER saw her shoes in the movie.

Several other cool costumes from other movies there as well, but I had limited time and no photography allowed. Bummer. I always like seeing the real costumes because shooting on film does interesting things to color and texture and it's fascinating to see clothes that look completely different when filmed. Claire & daddy came too and even they had fun looking at the stuff. :-) Even if the batman suit scared Claire... *sigh*

They have a whole raft of problems with picture taking, because the costumes are from so many different studios, and it's hard for them to actually get the costumes! So probably not. Sorry.

Is THAT what the deal is? How silly. If any of those individual stuios were having an exibit, they'd probably allow non-flash photography. It's jus stupid and I'm going to pout!
Ok, I'm over it, but it's still silly...

BTW, good luck at your thing tomorrow night. Sorry I can't make it but I want to hear all about it. :-)
