Wednesday Wow

 Captain Jack Sparrow - Johnny Depp - Pirates of the Caribbean
 Lara Flynn Boyle wore this in Land of the Blind (I never heard of it but the dressing is breathtaking)
 Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet in Sense and Sensibility
Keira Knightley in The Duchess

Cut! Costume and the Cinema is an exhibit at the Arlington Museum of Art  (www.arlingtonmuseum.org).  Thanks to Cosprop Ltd - England for sharing a fabulous exhibit.  Over 43 costumes from 27 period films - many Merchant Ivory winners.  Phantom of the Opera, Sherlock Holmes, The Prestige, and more.

The detail and sewing is stunning. And the waistlines for these actresses are tiny.
They did have a two leather coats from Daniel Craig in Defiance.  One was quite fresh, the other had been beaten with a hammer and aged for late in the film.  Nifty to see.

Beat the heat at a museum and feast your eyes on treasures of any sort.

    Very fun. We get some of that, being at the heart of tourist central. They change displays regularly at Disney World and bring in fun new pieces.

    The costumes are beautiful! The dress that Elizabeth Montgomery wore in the movie about Lizzie Borden is on display at the Borden house and it is sooooo tiny! I could maybe fit one leg into it.
