CUT! Costume and the Cinema

I finally got a chance to go back down to the Bowers Museum where I'd done the fashion show for the "Cut! Costume and the Cinema" Cosprop exhibit a while back.  I really hadn't had the time or the right camera to due justice to the exhibit then, but this time I was prepared. Wow, so many iconic movie costumes!  From Jack Sparrow to The Duchess. And up close there were all sorts of details I hadn't noticed before!

The ribbon behind the equipages on the "Fox" costume from the Duchess:

That one of the Duke's costumes is the same fabric, but black, as the Fox costume:

Or that the fabric under Marianne's famous open robe in Sense and Sensibility isn't plain white but printed:
