Robin Hood fashion

Off to see the new Robin Hood movie later this afternoon and I know it will inspire some future costumes as I love this period.

Seems I'm not the only one who is likewise inspired.

  3. Can't wait to see this movie - I've heard the costumes are a bit more realistic than in some of the past films (I still love the Errol Flynn version, even if the costumes look more like they came out a Pre-Raphaelite painting than from any historical period!).

  4. Margaret - I've seen it twice thus far and just love it!!! And yes, the entire movie is more realistic - gritty, gruesome at times, but has a down to earth quality that most Robin Hood films have lacked. The costumes are just wonderful. Marian wears linen, natural looking fibers. The royals (King John, Isabell and Queen Eleanor) are appropriately regal without looking costume-ish.
