2. • As our production is a period drama,
sourcing the right costumes to look
authentic was important.
3. • The first costume is the
one for our main
character Marianne, we
chose this empire line
white dress with a floral
skirt as it portrayed the
personality of the
character that we
wanted to display to the
audience, we felt it
represented the
characters innocence
and simplicity, and also
shows how she is from
a poorer background
and cannot afford
fabrics like silk, like
4. • The next costume for the
character of Charlotte is this
mint green empire line dress,
with a brown and cream
wrap, we chose this as we felt
the pastel mint green
represented the characters
personality again, as it is
subtle and elegant, the cream
and brown wrap also tones
down the outfit and makes
her look more middle class as
opposed to upper class.
5. • The pink empire line
dress we chose for
the Elizabeth the
fiancé, displays the
wealth and luxury
of her personality
and shows that she
is a woman of
higher class, who is
able to afford
luxurious fabrics like
silk, in colours that
would have
suggested higher
class such as pink.
6. • We chose traditional Georgian
dress for the main male character
Arthur as we wanted to make the
film look as authentic as possible.
We chose a black double breasted
dress coat with tails, with a
waistcoat and dress trousers, as
this shows that the character is
upper class. We chose a cream
and blue striped cravat as it we
felt it toned well with the white
and floral dress that Marianne
wears, and added colour to the
outfit.
