Star!
Hey ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elizabethsdress (and anyone else who loves 20s fashions) - I just saw a movie that I think you would like. It's called Star! and is a little known Julie Andrews musical - I hadn’t even heard of before B spotted it at the library. It's based on the life of stage star Gertrude Lawrence and spans from 1916-1940.
The designer actually did his research and did a very good job of it too, especially the late teens and twenties frocks - including some adorable Erte inspired things. Very nicely done indeed. The behind the scenes stuff said that Julie wore something like 125 costumes in the film - only one of which was made in duplicate because they were so expensive to produce.
Anyway check it out.
Or avoid it if you don't want any more 1920s addiction incentive.
Or if you've already seen it, ignore this.
