Costume Critique # 7

The show Once Upon a Time is costumed by a man named Eduardo Castro. He has done in my opinion a great work in putting together very unique and distinct costumes for each character that tie into the personalities the characters have in the Enchanted Forest and once they enter Storybrooke.

Here we see the elaborate costumes from when they are in the Enchanted Forest. It definitely shows that they are regal and will be dressed in the most beautiful clothing. We see Snow Whites ball gown that has feather details all over the skirt. We then see Prince Charming's outfit very well detailed along the collar and hand cuffs with embroidery showcasing a king's attire. But my favorite outfit that Snow White wears is when she is going to fight her foes. In her "going out" clothes she has hr characteristic white and beautifully cut overcoat with a skirt almost like she were dressed but it is in strips and all over a smart pair of what look like riding pants. This  look  is perfect I feel because it keeps her elegance as a queen while also being practical from her time as a wanted criminal. She knows what she needs to be useful in a fight and wears it. Snow White is always shown as strong and on top of her things in the outfits she wears when she is going to protect her kingdom.

`When she enters Storybrooke she is a cute school teacher and goes by the name Mary Margaret. She is in very cute school teacher outfits that are very innocent and conservative in style. She wears simple everyday clothes that when you see her you think of someone kind and helpful. I feel her costume is very well done for her Storybrooke persona as she has no idea who she was before in the Enchanted Forest or that it even exists. All in all I feel the character is well portrayed in both worlds and does represent Snow White in the light of a warrior queen and a kind and loving personality.
