It's magic....

I have just returned from the excellent Hollywood Costume exhibition at the V&A Museum..  In the past I have been the wardrobe mistress for various amateur musical productions (I count "Camelot" as my finest hour) so of course I was fascinated be the processes which go into costuming a film. But it was the film lover who was most thrilled by this exhibition.  To stand so close to the  costume which Vivienne Leigh "made" from the cutains in "Gone With the Wind"
or

Greta Garbo as Anna Karenina gave me goosebumps.
And as for this .........
It is one of the best exhibitions I have seen ... great combination of memories and new information.

Oh yummy! Were there any there from the Ascot scene in "My Fair Lady"? Those de Mille creations were so very wonderful!
