💀The Costumes Of Sleepy Hollow

[@chrissyofoldstones3210]

Katrina’s black and white striped gown is my favorite 😍

[@Costume_CO]

Hi Chrissy, Indeed, it's amazing!

[@reneedailey1696]

Lady Van Tassel's own black-and-white dress is up there- I dig the spiderweb-like overdress

[@rz7804]

During a Christmas as a young man, I was sitting in my best friends living room watching Edward Scissorhands. During the movie I remarked how it was one of my absolute favorite movies of all times. His Aunt sat quietly behind us during the movie. I spent Christmas Break hanging out with a very sweet women by the name of Colleen. Later that week after she had left, my buddy informed me... that she had made the costumes for Edward Scissor hands. I had spent an evening of my Christmas Break watching a movie by the artist responsible for one of my favorite memories. She is an amazing person, and gentle soul.

[@Costume_CO]

What a wonderful story! Thank you so much for sharing. I was actually trying to decide which movie to do, Sleepy Hollow or Edward Scissorhands. I will probably get to it maybe for Halloween.

[@rz7804]

@@Costume_CO I of course would have to side with my silent soul sir Edward of hands.

[@johstenmarquez388]

My personal favorite costumes in this film were honestly Lady VanTassels! Her gowns were just divine, the dress she wears in the climax was stunning!

[@Costume_CO]

Agreed! Thank you so much for commenting johnsten.

steel wasnt used in corsets or stays until the 1850s. 18TH century stays were never intended to create a smaller waist, they were worn to create the conical shape. Also, metal eyelets were a victorian invention that made tight lacing possible. 18TH century stays had sewn eyelets

[@eleanor7]

Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite movies based on one of my favorite stories. I love Coleen Atwood's work, she's has kind of a mystical, elegant, whimsical, and look of effortless beauty. Katrina's black and white gown at the end of the film has been one of my top dream dresses since I saw the film. It's amazing that dress in particular has left such a huge impact and fan love when it's only in the movie for like six seconds. Just goes to show how much an impact costumes can make on the audience.

[@laurelwelch6295]

Fantastic video, as always! I totally agree that it's a shame that studios don't hold onto more costumes or donate to museums for display, but I can understand the need from a business or storage perspective. I'm sure you get tons of requests for ideas, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Stardust costumes. It's a steampunk/fantasy movie and has an interesting blend of historic costume to build the world.

[@Costume_CO]

Thanks for commenting Laurel! I'm not familiar with that movie. Do you have a link?

[@laurelwelch6295]

@@Costume_CO Of course! I love your videos and am always excited to hear your thoughts on costume design! Stardust is on Netflix right now (Starring Claire Danes and Charlie Cox) and is based on a novel by Neil Gaiman. It doesn't happen often, but I prefer the movie to the book (maybe I just need to reread the original). The production team brought the story to life in such an ingenious way and, IMO, is the movie is underrated. Great casting, fantastic direction and timeless story make for a fun (and, at times, poignant) movie.

[@AysKuz]

The costume of the Headless Horseman is my favourite! I LOVE the collaborations of Burton and Atwood. I hope you make some more.

[@Costume_CO]

Thank you, I will definitely do more!

[@anarosareyes6269]

So it's mine

[@aaronlefay]

Best way to spend a Sunday.

[@Costume_CO]

Thanks Aaron, finally got it up!

[@TallMChannel]

@costume co Thank you for this video!! I LOVE Sleepy Hollow, saw it again this Halloween. The black and white striped dress by Katrina is still my favorite.

[@Valkonnen]

The film was not shot with a blue filter. It was a process called "ENR" or "Silver Retention" which gives the final print deep inky blacks, desaturates color and gives higher contrast. That is the reason why Depp's black coat has the edges done like they are. It's so that after the film is processed, you can see his clothes more clearly and they aren't lost in the deepened blacks caused by this particular process.

[@Costume_CO]

Thanks Valkonnen!

[@derreck_disaster]

I am begging you - please do Tim Burton's: Sweeney Todd. I feel it has some of the best costumes in all of his films and it is Colleen Atwood's finest work in my opinion!

[@Costume_CO]

I will do another Tim Burton or Colleen Atwood movie in the future for sure. :)

[@LadyB_20]

I really love the period gowns. I've rewatched the one you made of crimson peaks multiple times for inspiration when I sew. Will you e making a video for more fantasy costumes like that of Effie Trinket from the hunger games and Mirror Mirror with Julia Roberts?

[@Costume_CO]

Yes, I have both on my list! Thank you so much for commenting, Brentt. 😁

[@LadyB_20]

OMG I can't wait 😁

[@Costume_CO]

It might be a bit of a wait, but I'll try to get to them in 2019.

[@IamD0wJ0nes]

Katrina had my favorite dresses. I haven't seen this movie in so long. Now I gotta see if I can find it on Netflix because I remember loving it. I think the Targaryens would approve of the horseman`s look

[@Costume_CO]

Yes, his costume would def be perfect for the Targaryens. I still had this on DVD, if you can believe it. 😁

[@starlalocke9372]

Great video! I adore Colleen Atwood and Sleepy Hollow!

[@Costume_CO]

Thanks so much Starla!

[@declanm6887]

Could you do a costume analysis on the Mummy (1999)?

[@AUPackmule]

This is the only Burton film I like. It’s my favorite Sleepy Hallow production. The explanation of the horseman was more of a reason than anything else but it did have great costumes.

[@Costume_CO]

Hi John, I love it too. I have to admit, I don't like many of his later films but this one is pretty perfect.

[@jenniferbrewer5370]

I thought it was a clever move to make Ichabod Crane a police investigator in this version.

[@Costume_CO]

Me too! I really enjoyed the change. :) Thanks for commenting.

[@tatianamelendez490]

I know this was supposed to come out during Halloween, but better late than never! Certainly a nice pick me up after the day I had.

[@Costume_CO]

Ah, that's good Tatiana. Yeah, I'm super behind. 😁

[@davirasdarkside4263]

There was a seamstress on yt that tried to recreate the black & white stripped dress and had to used numerous black markers on white fabric. She said she wasn't able to find ANY black & white stripped fabric to make this dress so she improvised with the markers. She went through a lot of markers to get the final look.

[@Costume_CO]

Thanks for commenting Alison. I think this is sewstine that you are referring to?

[@davirasdarkside4263]

I do actually love the horseman’s costume fitting a very gothic German feel separating him from the rest of it being him being darker and such

@@Costume_CO Take your time dear, if the video does come at some point I'll be extremely happy :)

[@see5873]

Hello, verry interresting vidéo as always, just a little something I'm not sure at all about about the Pierrot jacket, because although pierrot can refer to a kind of sparrow it is also the nickname for Pierre (Peter) and as this kind of caraco is very much inspired by the man's fashion of this time earea, I always thought it was the reason why it was called like that. I'd really like to have your thought about it =)

[@Costume_CO]

Hello See! I'm not an historian by any means! I actually found that the sparrow/pierrot connection came from another costume blogger who does a pretty good breakdown on the differences of the types of jackets: blog.americanduchess.com/2010/10/what-is-difference-between-caraco-and.html It does make sense to me that the tail is like that of a sparrow.

[@BloodylocksBathory]

It's a shame the costume Miranda Richardson wears when Lady Van Tassle kills her sister is only seen for a few seconds, because it is gorgeous. Its exotic details also feel witch-like, which is appropriate since she's more of a hag than her poor sister, who practices real magic.

[@Costume_CO]

I know, it's amazing. 😁

[@AmberKeey]

Who is that costume blogger you mentioned in the video? Can you please give us a link to her website? And thank you again for the wonderful video.

[@jeepscreeps]

Do you have any information on the Western Woods Crone Witch dress? (The 2nd character Miranda Richardson played- Lady Van Tassel's twin sister who lives on the woods). I would love to replicate it.

Can you do a video on Marie Antoinette 1938

[@amber_updike]

I know I'm REALLY late to seeing this video but, do you happen to know the name of Katrina's first gown? (The peachy/pinkish one with the floral pattern). It's my favorite gown of hers and I've been dying to know what type of gown it is. Loved this video❤

[@Costume_CO]

Hi amber, I just looked at my Marie Antoinette video (same era). That gown I believe is called an English gown with a zone front: www.larsdatter.com/18c/zone-front.html I hope that helps!

Lady van Tassel had the better wardrobe

[@edi9892]

All beautiful costumes, except for the headless horseman. I just dislike every detail of it (including his sword). It´s so out of place and unrealistic.

[@Costume_CO]

Oh yeah? I didn't find much about that one. What didn't you like?

[@edi9892]

@@Costume_CO I disliked it for being: 1) not fitting in the historical context (not something a mercenary from that era would have worn) 2) Appearing cheaply made and very uncomfortable/impractical without offering anything in return 3) the aesthetics are completely off. 4) the decorations look horribly cheesy, like some cheap halloween costume 5) for anyone that knows a little about swords, the sword is an atrocity to the eyes. It may be incidentally a decent weapon to chop off heads, but not a good combat weapon by any means and the grip wouldn´t be any good either. I better stop here...I guess 2-4) are mostly my opinion, but for a crew that made so many well designed and manufactured costumes in a single film, that costume is an outlier as obvious a big wood splinter in your foot...

[@Costume_CO]

I didn't really have enough knowledge on that one to share an opinion. Thank you for your viewpoint. 😁

[@toomanyaccounts]

@@edi9892 propstore.com/blog/headless-horseman/ The Headless Horseman was noted as not being a typical member of the Hessians since he wasn't in it for money but killing. We don't get told about his background so he could have been very wealthy (he didn't care about money after all) hence the initial high quality clothes and not what a typical hessian would have worn. propstoreauction.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/44/lot/9689/ I have seen worse historical swords. It is wielded by two hands and it looks like it has more grip area then a number of historical swords that were used in combat such as Zweihanders.
