Read how the costume design team for the new ElvisMovie re-created Priscilla Presley's wedding dress. 👰♀️
, of"Moulin Rouge" and"The Great Gatsby" fame, worked with her team to re-create a version of the wedding dress Priscilla found on the racks while she was shopping in disguise in Memphis, TN, so as not to lead any trail of evidence she'd be getting married. The dress, bought at retail and tried on only once in the dead of night, was complete with long bishop sleeves beaded, embroidered with lace, and clad with a row of buttons on each wrist.
Martin, who collaborated with Miuccia Prada on much of Priscilla's '60s wardrobe and also commissioned vintage pieces for the movie , believes the wedding dress to be the most spot-on replica seen in all 159 minutes of the film, though we only see it briefly."We had detailed photos from the archive of what the lace looked like, and we bought several different laces that were all lovingly sewn together to re-create the look as closely as possible," Martin explains to POPSUGAR.
