"When I read it, I fell in love with the idea that a couture making costume sitting in the Australian outback," she said. "I love the visual irony."
She said that the costumes were made within eight to ten weeks in advance to the film shooting. "These costumes are even more wonderful than I imagined. The costume would be faithful to the era and would be very stylish. But it is actually the personality of the costume that I love most."
She said that the 1950s after WWII was the beginning of introduction of color again, and fabric, beautiful texture and so on. "What makes this period particularly distinctive was the lust," she said.
"Fashion during the 1950s was very exciting because there had been an atmosphere of restraint, everyone had to be austere during the war years, and then Christian Dior came along and changed everything, and Balenciaga," said Jocelyn Moorhouse, the director of The Dressmaker. "They changed the silhouette, they used a ridiculous amount of fabric to create what were really works of art, not just clothes."
Designer Boyce said that they wanted a palette of colors, "almost jewel-like, amidst this dusty outback environment to showcase Tilly's sumptuous designs."
Maslin's favorite costume was the dress worn by Gertrude Pratt, the daughter of the owners of the town's general store, which was the first time that people in the town saw Tilly Dunnage's talent.
"I love this costume both because it is the first time that we see the power of Tilly to transform these women ... and the making of it," said the producer. "When we actually filmed, we documented the making of this costume, which is in our exhibition as well, because these techniques haven't been used since 1950. They are all original techniques to create that beautiful organza cape and also the black satin dress. It was reviving of art."
