Anyone who voted The Favourite for best costumes is a moron as well.  Seriously, how hard is it to costume design a British period piece?  Just watch Remains of the Day or any number of other British period pieces, and use the same wardrobe.

And where do we find these movies?  How can we see them?  This is a site primarily about Hollywood films.

At the cinema. With your eyes. It's honestly lazy to use that as an excuse.

Quote

Perhaps the widest variety of costumes belongs to Emma Stone as Abigail, an 18th-century Eve Harrington, ready to rise from charity case and scullery maid to Anne’s kinder and gentler “favourite” — at least on the surface. Abigail begins dressed like all the servants, in a slightly shiny indigo fabric that turns out to be repurposed jeans, sourced by Powell largely from thrift stores. Abigail rapidly rises to lady-in-waiting and to Powell’s simplest black court dresses; you can then trace the character’s ascent by the amount of white gradually added to her dress. At the end, she is nearly as elaborate as the queen, in what Powell calls “that kind of nouveau-riche, upwardly mobile way… slightly vulgar, with too much pattern going on.” Masses of lace were a signature of the period, but lace is difficult to work with and also expensive. So, much of that pattern was created by laser-cut black vinyl fabric, laid over white; and its reverse, white cotton that Powell had laser cut to mimic the black.

I am deadass certain that I am 100% incapable of making those costumes.

 

Those things were ornate. I actually thought they put a pretty refreshing spin on the usual period piece attire.

You didn't address anything I said.  How are we supposed to see these films you speak of if they are not playing near us.

 

And what films are you speaking of? Do you think films from Columbia or Iran are big sellers here?

Well, that's the thing. If stuff like Burning and Shoplifters and Never Look Away came to my small town, then yeah, I'd probably go and see them. It's the widespread demand for foreign films and the theaters' willingness to screen them that has to change.
