Carrie: totally a sewing movie
You know, Carrie, the 1976 Brian De Palma film about a girl who sews a prom dress.
Ok and maybe there's also a thing with a bucket of blood and some fire...but for sure there's a prom dress.
Join playwright Meghan and pattern maker Liza as we get into Carrie's super impressive straight-into-fabric draping method, as well as how many multiples of this dress Liza thinks the production would actually have needed to achieve the blood drop in a cost effective manner, plus side trips into homecoming queens, powder puff football, and ruffled tuxedo shirts.
Come for the part where Liza and Meghan say the word dong a whole bunch, stay for the part where Meghan picks up a dress form to see if it’s heavy or not.
Super Bonus: Liza identifies the vintage sewing pattern that is dead-on Carrie's dress.
Happy Valentine's Day!
