[h-cost] Re: the virgin queen
Blech! The little bits of costume that I could see all look awful. And Tara Fitzgerald, to me, has never looked anything but twentieth-century no matter what she's wearing. At least we finally know the answer to what happens to costume design -- they do tons of research and then "cast it all aside." Ha ha! And I just love the idea that men in the actual lower garments of the time would have looked ridiculous to today's audiences. Have any costume designer looked at young men's falling-down pants lately? The word "ridiculous" comes to mind.

Watched Episode 2 last night. The men's anachronistic breeches were more obvious this week (though I liked the tennis scenes), and, as someone commented, the women's skirts don't look as though they have enough support (perhaps the designers thought that farthingales would look as odd to modern eyes as they thought trunk-hose would).

I don't think I can watch it any more, it's just annoying me EVERY time I see them supposedly being regal and just looking floppy (skirted)... Mind you, Kevin McKidd looked mighty fine playing real tennis :-) so it's not all bad!! Katherine the not easily pleased.

Yeahthe best designers do this! Some people think that costume design and fashion design are the same thing. Just make it up! [Not to belittle fashion design in any way. They too are sorta doing characters...The demographic of their clientele. But it's not the same as costume design.] ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
