City Streets Outfits
Version 1.2 - 2/14/06
Ann is in two quick scenes outside the theater. Both her costumes are basically
the same outfit. Her coat dominates her look and we only see glimpses. On
this page, we will document the basic changes of her outfit and the basics
she wears in New York - skirt, shoes, etc.

Job Interviews
| Her elegant camel toned wool coat tied tight until dinner |
| Light blue "V" necked blouce with ruffle |
| Med blue jacket, unstructured |
| Her skirt is the long blue skirt she wears
in all scenes until she boards the ship.
|
| Hat is her high grey conch with grey bow |
| Shoes are the same grey suede heels she wears though the NY scenes |
This set of pics are all behind the scenes shots... so don't expect to
see Ann just in sweater and skirt in any scene.
 |
 |
| Best shot of the sweater. Compare
color to the t-shirt behind that should be white |
Good detailed of the ribbed neck.
You can see the pearl button. |
| Thin cream(?) sweater with a diagonal rib
| The sweater shoots "light cream" but it's obviously had some color
treatment to have it show up right in the film. Depending on the
shot we see it as a mistly blue wash, a lavender wash... just not
completely neutral. Yet, in the film it does show up as a neutral tone.
The washes are probably just to keep the pattern from washing out when
shot on camera. |
| Short sleeves, set in. Appear to be hemmed under, instead of
finished with a rib edging. |
| Bottom edge is ribbed. ??? About 4 inches |
| If pulled down and not bloused, looks like it would fall to lower
hit, but as worn, sits just above mid hip |
| Asymmetrical turned back ribbed collar.
 | Opens on left side front just enough to pull over. |
| Fastens with a pearl button. |
|
|
| Additional photos from BtS shots of the New York set may be found at
the Kong Is King website.
|
This skirt is worn by Ann with separates for the first part the the
movie, until she boards the ship.
These photos are BtS shots on the NY set. She's wearing the sweater
with the skit
Note, there is a full length flared slip under the skirt.
 |
 |
 |
| Skirt is not extremely tight.
Allows her to take a regular stride. |
Note how smoothing it fit around the hip,
let how the bottom flutes out. |
Yoke is about 2" on side, 4" at center.
Top stitched up, about 1/16 Hem 2" |
A preliminary description of her working skirt.
| Dark navy blue, color confirmed at FIDM 2006 exhibit. |
| Medium weight crepe, unknown fiber. Very soft |
| Skirt is tight fitted at the waist with a yoke, flowing smoothly over the hips,
ending with a bit of flair about 3" above her ankles.
| Yoke is top stitch about 1 /8 |
| To get this slightly ruffled hem, there's a good chance this skirt
is cut in six pieces, i.e., instead of darts in the front and back, the
seams go all the way down allowing the bottom 6" to be flared out extra. |
| At exhibit... only center seam was confirmed... need to check for
other seams |
|
| Hem: 2" deep |
Grey Suede Shoes and Stockings
Ann wears these grey suede shoes though the New York scenes when she's
not in costume. The shoe is elegant with a cutout pattern on the side
and had not been aged very much.
 |
 |
| |
We can't seen much of the back of the
leg... but no where do we see stocking seams. |
 |
 |
| Close up as she steps onto the Venture.
Note wrinkle of hose at ankle and the heel of the hose. |
Circle shows heel. Arrow shows
proof of the hose. Nylon was just being invented, but silk
was still used for stockings. |
While these stocking do show a heel, witch is unusual for modern
stockings. We do not see a seam up the back... or do we see her
wearing stocking when she's running around the Empire State building.
Assumption... she wear pantyhose with the dresses, at least in NY.
While even on a sea voyage, a "proper" woman would have worn stockings, we
cannot tell if she wears stocking on the ship.
The slip is never seen in the movie... but makes sense from a 1920's
garment position. At exhibit, it can be seen, under the navy skirt and
seen under the medium blue jacket..
Fabric... same as the blouse, the light blue, light weight, but opaque
crepe. Fiber content unknown.
Pattern? From seeing it under the jacket we know that the slip
is very low in the back, square cut with spaghetti scraps.
Approximately bra band level. In the front it has to be a "V" to fit
under the ruffled blouse with out showing. Do not know if the front is
cupped or it slips over the head vs. side zipper. The slip is
about one 1" shorter than the skirt. Finished by a raw serge, narrow
edge like the ruffles. Bottom is flared. Hip has to be form
fitting to work under the kirt.
It is assumed that this slip is worn anytime the
navy skirt is worn.
Ann carries a brown handbag. It is trimmed in a brass toned metal trim.
After having seen it in person at the FIDM 2006 movie display, it leather
looks to be a vintage bag.
| The leather is naturally toned (light golden brown) alligator skin. |
| Rectangular, opens on top with brass hinged, plain brass clasp, brass
edging and large jump rings for the handle. |
| Leather handle. Also alligator leather, smaller pattern than the
purse body. Cracked, showing wear. |
| Small tab, also alligator leather sewing on the front. Don't
know if it is just decorative or if it's a tiny pocket. Guess,
decorative. |
 |
 |
| Can see the size of the purse here.
Leather appears darker. |
|
 |
 |
| Basic purse silhouette. |
This drawing of the alligator leather is
to just covey a sense of the skin size. Not meant to be an
actually representation. |
