Costume Designer Dan Lawson on Recreating 'My Fair Lady' Outfits
Elsbeth's Halloween episode featured Carrie Preston's character dressed as Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady every day, with guest star Annaleigh Ashford as a suburban housewife.
According to costume designer Dan Lawson, the episode required precise costumes, from dresses to hats, inspired by the 1964 movie starring Audrey Hepburn.
The episode saw a murder in Sleepy Hollow on Halloween night, but Elsbeth celebrated the holiday for the entire week with multiple 'My Fair Lady' inspired looks.
There was a lot that went into it — from the dresses to the hats to making sure everything was precise.
The costumes were based on the 1956 Lerner and Loewe stage musical, which was an adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's 1913 stage play Pygmalion.
