One Dress a Day Challenge
June: Weddings
The Taming of the Shrew / Elizabeth Taylor as Katharina Minola
I've been waiting a while for a chance to post this dress! I've always liked the combination of blue, green and white. The bows on the skirt add a festive touch. Once again, Irene Sharaff's designs for Elizabeth Taylor harmonize well with the rest of the costumes, designed by Danilo Donati.

Last night was my company Holiday Party, and we're doing really well, so it was held at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)
I was so happy that also included the Styled by Sargent exhibit, of John Singer Sargent paintings and the actual articles of clothing alongside them.
Now, you have probably seen this painting of Lady Macbeth
But have you seen the costume she's wearing??
It's gorgeous, obviously.
But that texture! It's *crochet*
And some knitting
Really simple crochet too; just a chain and single crochet lattice with beads and metallic thread added for this chain mail effect.
Despite John Singer Sargent being an expert painter of fabric (no, really, just look at it), I never knew Lady Macbeth's costume had to be *hand crocheted* for that texture in the painting.
Anyway I'm gonna be making myself some faux-chainmail by crocheting it for the next Renn Faire

This was part of my undergrad illustration thesis, which was illustrations to accompany the text of Shakespeare's The Tempest, repurposing aesthetics and imagery from the rural New Hampshire village where I grew up.
Reposting this piece from May 2020, because it is now available as a print, and Tumblr is being weird about letting me edit the original post to add alt text and a link.
#my art#pen and ink#shakespeare#the tempest#ferdinand#miranda#ariel#self repost#all of the text was typed up on my typewriter and composited onto the drawing once i scanned it#fun fact! the stipple shading on the log is morse code and i have absolutely no memory of what it says#that was an idea i wanted to try in all of the pieces for this and then abandoned when lockdown started and i simplified my thesis bc of it#and yes hello costuming history followers! ur right that isnt late 16th/early 17th century clothing on ferdinand#it is a turn-of-the-century high school football uniform from an old kimball union academy team photo#styled to look like the very stylized silhouettes u see in 20s/30s silent film adaptations of shakespeare plays

Yes indeed! We have about twelve of them documented at present, with another one that I just received this morning that I have to track down screenshots for. Hopefully you'll see it come across this account in the coming weeks.
You can find all of our results for Maggie Smith on our website here.

"There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance.
Pray you, love, remember.
And there is pansies, that’s for thoughts ...
There’s fennel for you, and columbines.
There’s rue for you, and here’s some for me.
We may call it “herb of grace” o' Sundays.
- Oh, you must wear your rue with a difference.
There’s a daisy. I would give you some violets,
But they withered all when my father died."

It's almost Valentine's! I was able to finish the Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou piece for my Wars of the Roses series <3
Henry VI tends to be brushed off as a mentally-ill and ineffective monarch to this day, and it's difficult to find information that does not infantalize or malign him. Margaret of Anjou, my favorite figure from this period, would was a steadfast pillar of support for Henry until the day he died. A lot of historians paint Margaret as only supporting her husband to secure the throne for their son, but I find that narrative difficult to be the only reason. Margaret campaigned for Henry's release from captivity tirelessly and worked extremely hard to gather support for his reign and even raised armies for him. While their relationship doesn't have the passion and flare that Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville did, I think their kind of devotion is exemplary in royal diplomatic marriages from the period.
#art#wars of the roses#henry vi#margaret of anjou#english history#english costume#watercolor#colored pencil#artists on tumblr#anyway justice for henry vi every account i read of him either speculated on his mental illness or his lack of sex drive but usually both#also margaret is depicted as this like stone cold bitch thank youuuuu shakespeare

Henry V (1989). In the midst of the Hundred Years War, the young King Henry V of England embarks on the conquest of France in 1415.
Kenneth Branagh has truly been collecting Shakespeare roles like infinity stones for more than 30 years. 7/10.

Vivien Leigh as Titania in a stage production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," 1937. I get chills just viewing this photo!
(Broadway Remembered)
* * * *
Out of this wood do not desire to go. Thou shalt remain here, whether thou wilt or no. I am a spirit of no common rate, The Summer still doth tend upon my state. And I do love thee; therefore go with me. I'll give thee fairies to attend on thee, And they shall fetch thee jewels from the deep, And sing while thou, on pressèd flowers, dost sleep, And I will purge thy mortal grossness so That thou shalt like an airy spirit go. Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Mote, and Mustardseed!
Titania in Act 3, Scene 1 of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

One Dress a Day Challenge
October: White Redux
Richard III / Mary Kerridge as Queen Elizabeth
Hmm, black spots creeping into our white costumes again? Strange....
This costume, nice as it is, baffles me. It's a fine example of fashion from the 1300s, worn for a scene (the death of King Edward IV) that takes place in 1483. See the picture below: Jane Shore in the red and blue dress shows an example of what women were actually wearing at the time (see here for a more detailed look at that costume). The queen even wears other costumes more along those lines in other scenes. So why on earth did they choose to put her in clothing that was a hundred years or more out of date for the first part of the film? I would love to know the answer.
She's not the only one, either--one of the photos shows her walking with the Duchess of York (Helen Haye, in black), who is wearing a gown of a similar era but almost a perfect palette-swap of the queen's costume.

Trying super hard not to obsess over the deliberate choice of having Oliver be dressed in a costume that has very heavy themes of Puck/Robin Goodfellow AND King Oberon for his birthday party while Felix has cheap golden wings strapped to his back in an outfit that just SCREAMS Titania (despite his mother being implicitly dressed as such-) in the way it symbolises Titania's refusal to reconcile or reunite with Oberon throughout the plot of A Midsummer Night's Dream, as well as her disdain for Puck and his tricks, which is further supported by Felix's own choices to make his costume the bare minimum for an event celebrating Oliver and his refusal to forgive or forget Oliver's lies.
A theme/symbolism which is only further emphasised with Felix doing the best he can to avoid him at all costs and Oliver refusing to let him do so for his own selfish needs and wants-
