petitdictionnairelamode: 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.

"Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question….
Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit."

~   The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot (1888–1965).  Prufrock and Other Observations.  1920.
