8 thoughts on “Dancing on the Edge: 1930s Costume PORN, Baby

  1. Definitely on my list. Wasn’t is Garbo who pioneered pants for women? For patterns, check out Folkwear Patterns and Past Patterns. Love the music from the 20’s to the 40’s; not so much after that.

  2. Having just come off of the most stressful three months of my theatrical career that quote about John Goodman’s costumes make me want to go lay down with a blanket over my head.
    Now, excuse me while I go drape myself something with that AWESOME fold-over neckline…

  3. It is now in the middle of a showing on PBS, at least in NY. They are showing it just before Masterpiece, on Sundays.

  4. You missed my favorite–Pamela’s black blouse (?-may have been part of a dress, it rarely got shown full-length) with the ladder cutouts. I will fight someone for that, and I fight dirty so I will win.

  5. I have to agree that there’s nothing sexier than a hot guy in evening clothes.

    None of the clothes in this production set off my “squirrel alerts” — they all looked right and appropriate for the occasion. One of the best costume dramas in terms of actual costumes that I’ve seen in a while.

    Oh, and the music wasn’t bad, either.
