The wedding dress was a display of social standing
admin, August 25th, 2010 Making your own costume
The Ghostbuster costume can be a difficult costume to make but can be done relatively cheaply. Firstly you need a beige/white jump or flight suit, these can be found at most army surplus shops and then attach the Ghostbusters logo to the sleeves, these can be bought online. You will also need some black gloves and some black shoes or boots. Don’t forget about the red and black name tags attached to the front. If you are interested in creating the full back pack then it can be made using wood and plastic and eventually painted black with added green and red buttons. Use house hold implements attached to a wooden board such as washing up bottles or toilet rolls. Obviously this is the hard part and I thoroughly recommend fully studying pictures and the film before attempting to do this element of the costume. If you use a wooden backing don’t forget to sand down the edges in order to make it completely safe and use light wood such as MDF in order to make it as easy as possible to carry.
Back Then
During the medieval era and the early years following it, most people would be married for financial or political reasons. It was not acceptable to marry someone of a lower social standing. Rich families married their daughters off to sons of other rich families in this way wealth and class and noble birth were mainly retained.The wedding dress was a display of social standing. Brides who belonged in rich clans would opt to wear gowns made of expensive clothing, elegant fabrics with rich colours and fabulous accessories. Women of this stature are allowed to wear gown in bold colours, with furs and even velvet or silk.A woman from the lower classes would try to copy the gowns of the rich but there would not be as many accessories and what there was would be of poor quality ,their gowns would have been made with cheap, poor quality material.Victorian style wedding gowns were popular until the 1930s.
