“What is the setting? Where are they going to be? In this case the house was really traditional with dark wood and deep earth tones.” That meant Pain could use certain colors to make characters like Hetty, the lady of the manor, pop against her surroundings. “Whenever I begin work on a costume, I always look at the production design,” she said. I contacted a couple different tribes in Oklahoma to ask them questions, I read a plethora of books, and I talked to Jacqueline West, who designed the costumes for ‘The New World.’ It was challenging creating that character for television, because everything had to be natural fabric - there were no wovens back in that time - and sometimes they wore very little clothing.”īecause so many scenes in “Ghosts” revolve around ensemble scenes with the spirits, Pain had to be careful to not only design costumes that were right for each character but that worked in conjunction with each other on screen no matter who was in the frame. “Obviously there were no cameras around in the time of the Lenape character ,” Pain said, “so I had to really dig deep.
“What would be iconic for this person?” In the case of Pinnock’s Alberta, that meant pearls, feathers, and dazzling colors as the aptly named Flower, Carrasco is dressed in a macramé top, peasant skirt, and tinted glasses.įor many of the ghosts Pain had photographic reference points, but for characters whose deaths were further in the past, she had to work to maintain authenticity. “I looked at what they wore and tried to figure out what it was about their clothes that would stick in somebody’s mind, and then I approached my characters that way,” Pain said. For Carrasco’s and Pinnock’s characters, respectively, that meant turning to inspirations like Janis Joplin and Bessie Smith. Pain’s first step was rigorous research, as showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman wanted each character to be faithful to their time period.

How can we replicate the costumes if they have stunts?” “You have to tell the story, but you’re also thinking ahead in terms of the different scenarios the writers might come up with later. “I had to ask myself, ‘How do you create characters that are going to stand up over time?’” Pain told IndieWire. They also provided major challenges, given that each character - like their counterparts in the show’s British predecessor - would be wearing whatever costume Pain conceived for them for the duration of the series. The eclectic group of ghosts includes a Prohibition-era crooner (Danielle Pinnock), a 1700s militiaman (Brandon Scott Jones), a ‘60s flower child (Sheila Carrasco), a ‘90s yuppie (Asher Grodman), a sarcastic Lenape tribesman from the 1500s (Román Zaragoza), and others who provided a wealth of opportunities for Heather Pain, who costume designed the series pilot.
Fold the fabric over, then in half, and measure to find the middle of the fold line.
While nothing is scarier than the terrible twos, this easy costume should spook the entire crew. There's nothing more adorable than turning your teetering tot into a hobblin' goblin.
