Phyllis Dalton was robbed of an Oscar for “Lawrence of Arabia” because nobody even entered her name in the competition. Her work was incredible, she designed hundreds and hundreds of costumes, went shopping in bazaars for fabrics, researched every army uniform, even found Allenby’s old tailor and had to make sure every costume was ready in time and in various variants.

One Dress a Day Challenge

June: Weddings

The Princess Bride / Robin Wright as Buttercup and Chris Sarandon as Prince Humperdinck

Humperdinck apparently believes in color-coordinated weddings, since he has to have provided the dress. It's a fun "fairy tale" style that corresponds to no particular historical era, with some very pretty beadwork on the shoulders. I've always liked her little crown as well.

The cut of Humperdinck's outfit is pretty strongly influenced by fifteenth-century European styles, particularly French. And look at the elaborate silver decoration around the openings of the hanging sleeves! It's like he's determined to let everyone know that he's the one who's royalty here. Which would be in character.
