“Susannah Buxton, costume designer: These three dresses demonstrate well the different ways in which we brought the costumes together for the show. Mary's dress was made for her, Edith's was hired - it was previously used in the Merchant-Ivory production of A Room With A View - and Sybil's is an original Edwardian summer dress.”
“Are we playing dress-up?" she said. "And me without my Uhura costume.”
“I quite deliberately dressed wild animals in tame costumes of my imagination.”
“I only assumed those dresses were costumes, based on the garish nature of the plumage.”
“But I'm worse. I'm a child playing dress-up, who can't even recognize herself under her own costume.”
“I think about my mother singing after lunch on a Summer afternoon, twirling in blue dress across the floor of her dressing room”
