Maria von Trapp

I discussed dressing up with my friend Sara yesterday and it made me think of way back when[livejournal.com profile] katarinaw and I were going to a film-themed masquerade: she wanted to go as Mae West (but didn't because she didn't have the time to sew) and I dressed up as Julie Andrews as Maria von Trapp in Sound of Music. And that choice actually says a lot about me, and also probably explains why I for example never get offered drinks by strange men when I go out: if you're the Julie Andrews type you just can't be Mae West.

Maria von Trapp: one of the big-screen costumers-icons - after all -she made costumes out of old curtains, and what costumer among us hasn't done that in their time?

Scarlett O'Hara: another big-screen example of curtain-costuming.
