Gangs 2

After doing a little digging I found that this costume was on exhibition at the Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design exhibit at FIDM in 2003.  This is the pic from FIDM's website and another screen cap I found online.  Did anyone go to this exhibit that took any notes!? :)

Don't know if this will help, but some of that costume was actually sold. Maggie has some of the pics here. It's a very beautiful costume.

Auction notes:
A kimono-style light blue top sheared off at the waist, with long, flowing embroidered bell sleeves, and green and orange layered trim.

The blouse pulls across the chest and ties at the center, and includes the original hand-written wardrobe tag sewn into the skirt!

Corset Auction notes:
A forest green corset with gold trim, made of shiny, velvet-like material and embroidered with pink and purple flowers. The intricately stitched flowers are surrounded by smooth green leaves and swirling vinery. The back ties up with maroon lace.
