London Brief- Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events


I have chosen this as the other piece of work for me to look at because I loved this character in the film and I love the costume Meryl Streep wears as Aunt  Josephine. I think that it is really interesting how they have managed to create an eccentric costume for the character even though the colours of the fabric are dark.
These show the sketch and the costume featured in the film.

Information about the costume 
High neck gown with leg-o'-mutton sleeves, 88 functional button and loop closures. The dress features 2 layers - an underdress made of different colors in alternating princess panels of light blue satin, black satin, and black crackle print taffeta. Each color panel shows through the top layer to create different backgrounds for the sheer top layers created with smocked organza and black bobbinet. There are 14 vertical rows of black punched ribbon hand painted with blue pearlized paint. The stand collar features soutache sewn into horizontal stripes."
