Ann's Island Silkies
Ann is kidnapped from the ship by the natives of Skull Island. She
had changed out of her Adventure dress and into a robe and slip. The
catch, it's a different set of silkies. (See
continuity opps) It is not
until the natives are preparing to sacrifice her to King Kong that we see
her in the silkies that she will wear though out the island. One more
continuity thing... the robe seems to change length. There's some
question of if it's just how she's holding her arms, but it appears to go
from above the knee to mid-calf.. just a bit to much. (Hey... but who
knew we'd be so obsessive with the costume study? <G>)
The slip and the robe both go though transition in color and wear.
The robe never degrades too much, but the slip shreds. (See, our
separate page for the slip study.)
Here's Terry Ryan's information on their choices for Naomi's costume.
"We needed it to be a gown and robe of some kind," he says. "It's quite
modern. We played around with the idea of a wrap-over, or a dress that had
come undone." They didn't want it to be too revealing.
(Remember, Fay's version would get bleeped by the sensor today in a spot or
two.) Instead the outfit is designed with control in mind.
Sometimes there's a body suit attached to the slip, sometimes it's the tap
pants.

Note the length of the ties here.
They come down to almost the tear in the slip |

Back of robe. Note belt loops keep
the robe tie low. Can see the length of the robe here.
Sleeves just below elbows. |
This blurry shot show how the robe is
always tied. (This is natives dragging her to the sacrifice) |
Same pic, illustrating where the knot is. |
The necklaces is woven of bones, hair and feathers.
These are some of the highest rez photo we have. Shots here also
reflect the shorter robe. Note long shots her are probably all the CG
puppet.
Three parts to Ann's Island Silkies
| Silk satin fabric, basically a vanilla-cream in color |
| Basic Pattern
| Has side seams only, front wraps closed when tied |
| The length of the robe seems to vary slightly.
| In the sacrifice scenes, it looks to be mid-knee, or just under
the knee |
| In the later scenes, it picks up almost half a foot in length. |
|
| Collar is a wide tie, 1 1/2 - 2"
| Tie goes all the way to a few inches above knee level |
| Would wrap tight around the neck and tie into a fancy bow |
|
| Robe edge
| Strip of lace run from the neck (under the collar tie) all the way
down the front. - aprox 2" |
| Front edge of robe is attached to lace, about 1" |
|
| Sleeves end just below the elbow with hems turned under 1"
| are slightly off the shoulder |
| Can't tell if the sleeves are set in slightly for just squared
off, either will work |
|
|
| Robe tie rest at the hip with belt loops at the side
| tie is about 2 inches wide |
|
| Seams
| Finished with an overlock or serged stitch |
| When recreating, if an over stitch isn't available, seam could be
finished flat felled, French seamed or even just do a straight stitch,
clip close and do a clean zigzag with both edges together. |
|
| Vanilla Cream silk |
| Simple, no lace |
These are not seen most of the time. They show up in some of the
photo shoots with the "shredded" version of the slip and they do show up
during some of the action scenes when Naomi ends up head over heals sliding
though the jungle. (Trust me, if you want underwear documentation...
go though the Production Diaries frame by frame yourself. <G>)
The robe and the slip both have a number of issues when determining
color. For colors we see...
| On the robe - everything from a very light cream to peach to a light
mocha. |
| On the slip - everything from a creaming mocha to rosy peach to an a
light chocolate |
Just so we've got something to call them, until we get a formal
conversation... or someone wants to make a better try at the colors
names.... picking something that defines the colors.
We'll say the Island Robe is a vanilla-cream and the Island Slip is
a light rose-mocha. (And this goes to prove never come up with
color names before dessert.)
What is causing the color change?
| Color grading - very variable by scene based on the lighting |
| Dry vs. wet - the colors intensify |
| Clean vs. dirty - light to darker as the garments are aged. |
Pick a color for your costume
| Given the exact colors can be hard to determine, the trick is to
select a robe and slip color that match each other. |
| Be sure you know which color scheme you're picking. Early in the
island chase? later? behind the scenes colors? |
| Also remember to pick a color that works with your skin tone.
Some folks can handle the pinks, some the tans others look best in rose. |
