Finally Friday - Disney Costumes

The Arlington Museum of Art is hosting an excellent exhibit of all things Disney.   The Crown Jewels include tiaras, watches, earrings, jewelry, and more.  So many little detailed accessories that add to a character.  Quite fascinating.  And  sometimes two items are made - one  real, and one for a stunt double to wear depending on what the object (a pocket watch)  might do in a scene.  Things you don't consider when  enthralled in the movie. 
Heroes & Villains - the Art of the Disney Costume - glorious array of costumes all on the life sized mannequin of the actor who portrayed a character.  
 
Consider Hocus Pocus 2 starring Kathy Najimy, Better Midler, and Sarah Jessica Parker
 
How about Meryl Streep's Witch in Into  the Woods
Jafar from Aladdin 2019  worn by Marwan Kenzari


More  to come.  The  details and richness of the costumers in person is marvelous to behold.   I wanted to touch them all.
