Actress Diane Kruger wears a cream blouse in the film, not owning a cream blouse, I chose to scratch the blouse, and instead am wearing a simple white cami to provide a buffer between myself and the jacket. I felt that a white blouse would detract and look strange since I have no other white going on.
Titillating Tip
As mentioned in my previous entry about Inglourious Basterds, I simply loved the clothing that the two female characters wear is stunning and makes me long for the glamor of yesteryear. But with a simple flip through my closet, I was easily able to pull together an outfit that made me feel like I stepped back in time.
When it comes to dressing 40s, shoes are key – more 40s shoes were really round in the toes. Also make sure you wear skirts that are at your waist – not your hips! As for fedoras, none of the new ones will do – you need a vintage one. Fedoras back then, and through the 1950s had broad brims. The fedoras of today are too stingy brimmed, which make them more 60s.
My goodness, it’s a satisfying feeling when I can go to my closet and whip up a costume with what I have.
