I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL 10/13/06!!!! *rolls around on the ground in a fit of costume lust* EEK! Did you see the last gown — the blue anglaise with the zone bodice and sash? THUNK.

I did actually get a bunch of work done on this sucker… read more about my 1875 evening dress project
More Dickens Pics
I’ve just added a raft of new pictures (scroll down) from last Sunday at Dickens Fair. Sunday was GBACG day, and wow, were there some stunning costumes! I’m really glad I wasn’t trying to judge the costume contest. A very fun day running into lots of people I know, plus I actually got a few dances in, and of course made time for tea and scones (and rum cake!).
Costume Movie Goodness…
…that’s TOO good to just go on the Upcoming Movies page:
1. Us Americans are getting to see the new production of Bleak House, Jan. 22 – Feb. 26, 2006 on Masterpiece Theatre (I always love that it’s theatRE);
2. BBC has commissioned Andrew Davies (BBC Pride & Prejudice writer among many others) to do a new miniseries version of Sense and Sensibility;
3. ITV is planning new versions of Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion — Davies is working on the Northanger Abbey script. 2 & 3 are of course only planned, which doesn’t make anything official, but we suckers-for-period-anything can hope.
Narnia Costumes
There’s a behind-the-scenes video on costuming the White Witch in the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe available on Yahoo movies. I’m going tomorrow night! Yay!
