Stage 7: On display are two costumes from the movie Aimée & Jaguar, (Germany 1997-99), directed by Max Färberböck.
The costume on the left is:
a black evening gown with lace over-blouse
as worn by Maria Schrader in her role as Felice Schragenheim.
This floor-length, figure-hugging gown of softly draped silky velvet has thin straps and a plunging V-shaped neckline. The skirt falls in regular pleats. On the back, in the center, is a godet – a wedge-shaped extra piece of fabric that causes the skirt to flare and adds volume. A sheer long-sleeved waist-length blouse made from fine black Chantilly silk lace is worn over the bodice. The wearer’s light skin shows plainly through the lace, drawing attention to the chest and arms. The blouse is open at the back and ties at the neck.
The costume on the right is:
a tweed pant suit
as worn by Juliane Köhler in her role as Lilly Wust.
The suit jacket and pants are made of English tweed. This fine woolen fabric has a classic salt-and-pepper pattern – irregularly woven dark and light threads. The slightly tapered jacket is hip length and has tube sleeves. The jacket is fastened with a button underneath the long, wide lapel collar. The join between the collar and lapel is marked with a prominent seam and a triangular notch. On the front of the jacket, above the hem, are two patch pockets, one on the right and one on the left. There is another on the left breast. A wave-like pattern along the hand-sewn front edge of the jacket adds a sophisticated element. The pleated pants are wide-legged with cuffs. This lady’s suit is teamed with a cream-colored blouse and brown bowtie.
