I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE FILM "THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN" BUT I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE IMAGE OF HER. THAT ICONIC HAIR-DO! THAT RAGGEY WHITE SHIFT DRESS! THE BANDAGES WRAPPED ALL UP HER ARMS! GREAT STUFF. HER LOOK IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD COSTUMING. SIMPLE, TO THE POINT, AND, IN MANY WAYS, ELEGANT. EVEN WHEN THEY WERE DESIGNING THIS FEMALE MONSTER, THEY PUT HER IN AN OUTFIT THAT WAS BOTH FLATTERING AND FASHION-FORWARD. WE REALLY NEVER SEE TRULY ICONIC FILM COSTUMING NOW-A-DAYS.
I GOT THE IDEA FOR THIS PIECE WHILE I WAS ON THE SUBWAY AND I WENT RIGHT HOME AND DREW IT UP. I CHOSE A DIOR BY GALLIANO DRESS TO STAND IN FOR HER STANDARD RAGS. I USUALLY LIKE TO SKETCH AND DOODLE IDEAS FIRST, WAIT A DAY OR SO, AND THEN DO THE FINAL. THAT WAY I CAN REVIEW MY PRELIMINARY WORK WITH FRESH EYES AND MAYBE SEE OR ADD SOMETHING NEW THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT OF ORIGINALLY.
