Twilight Zone.....inspired fashion?

Greetings,

This is going to be a rather random post.

However, there is some reason behind it...kind of. When I am sewing (and not listening to movies) I am usually listening to TV shows.

Those are almost always X-Files, Fringe or the Twilight Zone.....etc...

I was listening to the first episode of season 3 of Twilight Zone the other day and for some reason I really liked the outfits! Lol, I know weird right?

Well anyway...the story line was short. Typical Twilight Zone etc...but the outfits were "end of the world" cool....

The Woman in the show puts on this fancy dress she found in an old shop. Then straps on her guns and very large knife. Love it!

Kind of reminded me of Ella's Dress from Cowboys and Aliens. read that here

Soft/Lady Like + End of the World Tough....

 

I like that style, but I like weird sci-fi stuff.

Especially when it involves a worn down dress that used to be stunning.

Aka, Tia Dalma's Costume, Colleen Atwood's costume designs for Mrs. Lovett etc... There is just something I am drawn to about worn down pretty dresses with the lady holding a good weapon. Love it.

Oh! Side Note: I like her makeup as well.

I know it is in black and white, but the tones and style are still cool.

It is kind of interesting because the "smokey eye" she is wearing in this episode didn't come into real day to day fashion for quite a few years. Now it is the normal look. You see it everywhere. It is one of my favorites eye makeups to do.

I think you could achieve a similar look with this tutorial. Or try copying one of Amanda Seyfried's eye makeup styles...

This Costume could really be a starting point for all kinds of fashion/costume ideas. I might just go draw something up inspired by this....oh, the possibilities!

Anyway, have an awesome day!

Thanks for stopping by my little blog.

 

P.S. Recognize the actress in the photos above?

....she actually only says a few words in the Twilight Zone episode, but makes up for it later in her tv show Bewitched.

*cue the theme song music...*
