Not So Bleak House




I recently watched the 2005 Masterpiece Theatre Bleak House. The costumes were designed by Andrea Galer, who also did Persuasion, Jane Eyre, Mansfield Park, and many other period films. Her work is always very tailored, period-correct, and elegantly simple. I particularly like Esther's gowns in this film. Unfortunately, there are not many pictures of her gowns on the web. I think my next project might be to re-create one of these gowns. The biggest difficulty is finding the right fabric at an affordable price!
