Ms Sophia from The Color Purple Costume

I love the movie the Color Purple and my favorite scene is when Ms Sophia confronts Ms Celie in the cornfield after Harpo beats her.

I used a full white dress underneath to give me the petty coat look, old school skirt, short vintage boots, button down shirt and an apron. The gingham apron is best but I couldn't find one last minute. I took a hat and cut half the brim off. I then tied a black ribbon and then old flowers. I had a black eye and busted lip to go with the look. My hair was rolled up on both sides and tucked under the hat. Everyone knew exactly who I was when I walked in the party with my Ms Sophia walk and recited some of the lines. I loved this costume!
