  1. Her work is so gorgeous. And Jamestown is just over the bridge from me, so this is on my list of things I make sure to see this year!

  2. I love the detail that goes into every piece of clothing. You can tell nothing was thrown away or considered unimportant.

    1. The forethought and research that has gone into all of her work is just outstanding. The costumes tell stories about the time and the characters, they never take the viewer out of the film, they’re impeccably made (real clothes that can really be worn) and/or aged and distressed as appropriate. And they’re beautiful and interesting, in colors, silhouettes, proportions, movement. It really doesn’t get better than her work.

  3. Ruth E. Carter is a notable alumnus of Hampton University here in Tidewater Virginia, and despite a noisy few (I’ll just say that they wear red baseball caps and leave it at that) who are whinging that this amazing exhibit is at Jamestown, most of us are delighted that it is getting the increased visibility that it so richly deserves! Now to organize some friends to go check it out together!!!

  4. THANK YOU for this post!!! Ruth E. Carter is AMAZING! I hope this exhibit travels near me!
