Hehe, just doing some shopping. What do you think of this? Looks very good on "willowy" women, and has the materials look of Victorian/Edwardian era. Can be shaded silver or off white. I don't like the hair crown thing, though. I think Julia should wear one of the fancy hair pieces she usually wears to parties instead of a traditional veil. Perhaps silver flowers? Dang, I wish I could wear this dress. So shimmery.    |

Quick, you've got to get these pics over to the show's Wardrobe Dept right away, snacky !!!  |

Quick, you've got to get these pics over to the show's Wardrobe Dept right away, snacky !!! I wonder if they sew their own dresses in -house? I think this one is actually make-able. I'm looking for the right hair piece to go with it. I was thinking something like a silver flower hair decoration (similar to the piece Julia wore to the ball in Twentieth Century Murdoch). But I think the silver idea is being influenced by the dress - I'm not sure how it would actually look on Julia. Maybe something like small pink or white flowers would be better? Re: the silver flower thing. Looks much better than a the tin crown thing above. But not sure regarding Julia's coloring. Also, who knows whether she will be tan/frizz-honey-haired or pale/smooth-blond?  |

I just realized the Ladies Emporium lacks bridal wears. D: Am writing a short MM review for them. Nooooooo! The Julia's bridal shop has been cursed! Hope this doesn't have ramifications for the wedding itself.  |

Love the dress! I think it would look great on Julia's slim figure. Good question about the costumes...I did notice that after Julia marries Darcy, she seems to get much more fashionable!

I'm a big fan of Julia's wardrobe upgrade - especially the daring evening dresses. I once read an essay in a steampunk science fiction anthology that claimed steampunk was all about the fashion. The guy that owns the blog where I wrote my MM review wrote his dissertation on the idea that steampunk is an "aesthetic". I buy into both those ideas. Even William's lab equipment is a kind of retro fashion accessory. So, with that in mind, the MM wardrobe team should keep Julia dressed as fantastically (with the emphasis on the fantasy) as possible). I really hope we get a sneak peek at Julia's dress - at least to alleviate the fear she she'll get married in the same piece of Barbie Doll fluff she wore to the Darcy wedding. |

Oh wow...in the bigger pics, I still love the dress, but what is up with that tiara? It is just not working for that poor girl. I much prefer the flower design you found, snacky.

Yeah that tiara is awkward. It looks like it was retrieved out of a salvage yard. As the seasons go on, Julia does a lot of elaborate things with her hats and hair. She has a lot of expectations to live up to at her wedding. And she'll probably be expected to achieve the hardest thing of all: simple elegance. I bet a "good enough for TV" version of that dress could be made for under a hundred bucks, using foil and sequins for the sparkly bits. |
