hamilton4pres: gahdamnpunk: You can’t tell me Lupita is not an airbender As a tailor I feel like I have to explain how she does this. It’s called a weighted hem! very small but dense weights are sewn into the fabric’s hem to make it easier to manipulate. It was a very common practice in silent movies to Golden age Hollywood costuming and has mostly fallen out of the spotlight now because it makes the dress itself pretty heavy and wearing them for a long time can be difficult, but! As we can see above, she has absolutely no problems keeping those dresses looking perfect and looking damn fine while doing it. -- source link
