CASUAL ELEGANCE

Elizabeth's walking dress from Pride & Prejudice (2005)

 

PURPOSE:

Movie replica costume to practice creative pattern drafting

 

MATERIALS USED:

Newspaper, cotton print, covered buttons

 

The finished dress. Elizabeth wears this costume around the family home, and on her frequent walks, so it is not as formal as the costumes she wears to town and to social occasions.

The various stages of the construction of the garment- the mockup made from newspaper, cut, gathered and sewn together. The buttoned front closure creates an interesting detail.
