Anything Goes December

Miss S (episodes 6-7, "A Song of Blood") / Ma Yili as Su Wenli

I was never sure whether to file this under blue or black, as the color changes with the lighting/filters. But I love the beadwork and the matching shoulder cape. The little bow at the throat with the pearl in the center is one of my favorite features.

I thought the purse actually was meant to go with the dress, but upon looking at it close up, I think it just happens to be the same color. The beads are of a different size and pattern from those on the dress. Love the shoes and gloves too.

I don’t know what to watch. 

Finished A League of Nobleman rewatch on 2/23/23.  Just finished rewatching Lockwood & Co as well. 

Do I continue Our Blooming Youth? Start part 2 of Island?  Continue Luoyang, Miss S, or Checkmate?  Start Starry Love based on all the mutuals’ posts?  or just rewatch Mr. Queen?

MISS S (2020) – EP. 24

July: Blue Redux (+ Green Redux)

Miss S ("Mysterious Drugs, part 1") / Ma Yili as Su Wenli

Miss S makes her very first appearance stepping off a ship in this stunning powder-blue ensemble. She solves her first mystery while waiting for her luggage to be loaded into a cab! (To be fair, she has a lot of luggage.)

While I love this show and its costumes, I do feel that they don't always hit the mark with the western-style dresses. The first episode takes place in September 1935, and some of Wenli's dresses have very strong A-line flared skirts that look more 1950s. But this one has the 1930s "inverted champagne flute" silhouette. I love the dashing cape and the large hat.

The camera has fun with this costume, zooming in on various details. (Note, I don't think the heels on the shoes are strictly period either, but I'll let that slide.)
