July: Green Redux (+ Blue Redux)
Possession / Jennifer Ehle as Christabel LaMotte
This post is dedicated to Christabel's deep green traveling cloak, which she wears on an extended trip to Yorkshire in 1859. Green seems to be a bit of a theme color for that trip, as she often wears the cloak over a green dress. This may be symbolic of new beginnings (etc.), or the color may have been chosen simply because it looks great with the character's red hair! I like the double edging of embroidered bands.
Costumes for this movie are by Jenny Beavan.

obsessed with the era of historical fashion between the 1860s and 1870s where aniline dyes kept being invented. you can find some absolute eyesores (affectionate) of dresses that were only made that way because “acid magenta” was invented last month and it was trendy.
like this iconic gown:
or this one from the 1870s in aniline purple and aniline black:
or a trendy yellow and black gown from c. 1865, perhaps?
feel free to reblog with additional eyesores (affectionate) that i might have missed

January: Red Redux
The Age of Innocence / Michelle Pfeiffer as Countess Ellen Olenska
One of the most iconic red dresses in movies! I love the beaded details on the bodice, which are hidden by the fan in many pictures. I also like the contrast between the deep red skirt and the brighter color of the bodice, which also trails over the bustle.
Costumes for this movie were designed by Gabriella Pescucci.
