For the 10th anniversary of our Famous Dead Person’s Ball<\/a>, I decided to indulge myself with a costume I’d dreamed of doing for years — a somewhat historically accurate Cathy in Wuthering Heights<\/i> from the early scene where she’s a ghost scratching through the bedroom window. It’s the scene that Kate Bush<\/a>‘s wonderful song “Wuthering Heights” is all about.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen some interpretations of this scene where the costume was from the wrong historical era. Now, I’m not usually a costume nazi. I often take a liberal interpretation when I make historical costumes. But I am<\/i> something of a literary nitpicker \ud83d\ude09 It’s the curse of the English major. Besides, Wuthering Heights<\/i> is one of my all-time favourite books, and I was going to feature it in my half-finished Master’s thesis. So I’ve always wanted to see the ghost Cathy done in the era of the book.<\/p>\n

According to the analysis in the back of my Norton Critical Edition, Cathy dies in 1784. Women’s clothing of the 1780s had full skirts and a fitted bodice with a square neckline. In the U.S., we often call this style Colonial, and all of the commercial pattern companies have Colonial dress patterns. I used Butterick 3071, combining bits of both views. The pattern went together smoothly, although the bodice fit was imperfect, and I didn’t have enough time to fuss with it.<\/p>\n

Since I was making a gown for a ghost, I wanted it to look like the wearer had risen from the grave. Tattered, torn, faded, pale. So I made it out of unbleached muslin and ivory lace, all of which looked tea-stained and old. I also distressed the gown to look old and worn.<\/p>\n

With the dress, I wore sheer white hose and white louie-heeled court shoes with bows on the front. I did heavy white-face makeup on my face and chest, using a green pre-base, then a pearlescent white MAC HyperReal foundation, topped with Perscriptives Magic Powder. On my eyes, I used lots of bruise-colored purples and shimmery greys, plus smudgy black liner, for a dead eye socket look. I wore Urban Decay Bruise lipstick (purple original formula) with hints of blue added. I ratted my hair up big and messy, as if I’d been rambling the wild moors.<\/p>\n

Photos taken before the party whilst I lip-synched melodramatically to the song!<\/p>\n
