PC - Susan's Purple Dress and... red cloak!
Posted: Jun 06, 2010 3:02 pm
I'm probably as excited now as if the trailer had come out today.
I'm trying to systematically go through and update PC costumes with new images and new studies for The Wardrobe Door (I started with Susan's farewell dress... anyone have any votes on the next ones I update?). So I was searching on flickr for exhibit shots and found these amazingly high-res pictures taken by skarlettfever, at the the FIDM exhibit. Uploaded a year ago. How did I miss them?
Check them out, there are some fabulous shots of Peter's brown velvet tunic, Nikabrik's outfit, Trumpkin's outfit, Caspian's outfit, and... Susan's purple dress.
(Warning, extremely high-res)
When I saw these thumbnails, I thought, "Whaaat? Did—they—they put a red cloak over Susan's purple dress?" For a moment I thought that someone put another movie's cloak on Susan, as sometimes the people who set up the exhibits screw up... like whoever put Lucy's red dress bodice on the mannequin backwards in one exhibit.
But no, it goes with it, and the color combination is gorgeous. I never noticed how red the fabric under the daffodil cutaways were—you can't see that in most of the other high-res images we have, it just looks gold—but it really ties the colors together nicely. The red cloak fabric and its paisley print really remind me of Lucy's Dawn Treader outfit. Who knows, maybe it's the same fabric.
I just love how it's fully lined in gold, and I love the gold leafing up the front sides, and the gold clasp at the top. *happy sigh* So sad they didn't use it in the film. Though I can see it's a bit fancy for running around in the woods.
Your turn.
