Catherine Martin on Designing The Great Gatsby Costumes

Daisy Buchanan’s (Carey Mulligan) wardrobe is pretty without being overwhelmingly cloying. You have details like appliquéd fabric rosettes and a lot of tulle to give the illusion of a strapless dress. [The look is] wearing very beautiful clothes with a kind of casualness. You see Daisy for the first time in a very fancy dress, but she’s just lying on the couch.
