Madra's Wardrobe Test

Director Ivy Jordan orders a wardrobe test for a scene in Monolithic Studios' new film starring Madra Lord.  Two-piece ensemble, hat, gloves, and belt are from The Couture Touch.  Shoes are from Integrity.

Wardrobe tests, often taken just prior to filming a scene, are stills of the actor in costume.  They were primarily used for continuity and as a tool to convey clear details of colors, fabrics, and style as well as hair and makeup and how they will appear on film.

  2. It's all drama! Wonderful, wonderful drama! Dramatic hat, dramatic gloves, dramatic black and white...even the corsage adds a dramatic touch! An 'ensemble fantastique' sure to pass any wardrobe test! --Monsieur Érik
