It’s been a week of finishing garments for the start of filming. Filming is now underway.
Over the weekend, we re-created the lady’s outfit in this picture. More about this scene in a future post.
Later this week I will assist with fitting and readying actors and extras in their costumes for a scene portraying a gathering of people. I’ll also be one of the extras, wearing this 2-piece 1870s homestead dress. I’ve spent the past two days getting my dress finished and fitted. Below is what it looks like now, and the ‘before’ picture for reference. The lace tie will become a detachable collar. Once that’s done, I’m pronouncing the outfit complete.
Below is a close up of the fabric and lace.
Meanwhile, a new Wes Anderson movie was released in theaters last Friday. I’m hoping to go see it tonight. It will be full of Wes Anderson-style scenes to feast the eyes on. Hopefully the story is excellent too, but I plan to enjoy it regardless.
