Quiz

What would be the criteria to respect if you had to create a costume for a widow in mourning for the past three years since the death of her husband in 1867?

Hint
During this epoch, fashion was changing rapidly.

Answer
The dress of mourning must reflect the fashion of 1864 and will in this case be outdated. The dress must also be altered to show three years of natural wear-and-tear.

You can apply your talent and knowledge in the fields of cinema, television, circus and theatre.
