One Dress a Day Challenge
November: Oscar Winners
A Room with a View / Helena Bonham-Carter as Lucy Honeychurch
Year: 1986
Designer: Jenny Beavan and John Bright
Lucy wears this outfit for a brief scene of tea in the garden. Some of the costumes for this film were vintage pieces, and I wonder if this might be one of them, with the intricate embroidery on the top (does it qualify as a shirtwaist?). I also wonder if it might have been chosen as a nod to the original novel, where the famous kiss in the flower field happens in spring rather than summer, and the flowers are violets rather than poppies.
There's a very good writeup of the costumes in this film here.
