Costume Design

Check out these two eBay auctions (one is current and one has ended)! They are some original costume sketches for Adama and Roslin including fabric swatches.

This one is still active and features Roslin's purple dress from the Miniseries:

This one has ended and features Adama's Duty Blue Uniform:

A link to the Adama one came up at the prop forum and no one made any moves to question the authenticity, but of course just because there was no discussion doesn't mean anything. I'll ask :)

The costume designer's name is correct and the swatches look good. It's an interesting concept - kind of blending the wrap shirt with the pepto dress (in the case of Roslin). The presence of the Roslin one makes me think it's legit as, in all honesty, she's far from one of the most popular characters in the series as a whole (and not a big money maker). However, including those other unrelated Roslin photos is weird.

I wonder if those extra photos are because the blouse in the sketch is pretty similar to how the cream blouse in those pics looks, rather than the top of the purple dress?

That's a great point!

I also dug up other sketches by this same costume artist:

Deborah Everton

So I think these are legit!

These are awesome! Thanks for the links.

I would have loved to see Laura in some more colour, like the NC Red Dress of Seducing Admirals. As for Bill, I would have loved to see him in something casual, a button down jean shirt and a pair of khakis for example. Something relaxed and appropriate for a lazy weekend.

YES, love the idea of Laura in more colour. I wish that shopping mall ship had existed! For some reason when I think of Bill, I think black ...

I'd have liked to have seen Bill in a well-worn comfy black sweater and equally broken-in jeans :-) Laura...anything, really. Maybe more of the kind of thing off-duty Sharon Raydor would wear, but with the Laura "look."

It kind of looks like the Roslin sketch didn't understand what her bust would do to that dress...just saying :-)

Hell. Yeah. :D
