Moviegoers may be afflicted by "Snow White and the Huntsman's" computer-generated trolls, aerial fairies and allegorical beasts. But it could be Colleen Atwood's complicated, handmade apparel that absolutely abduct the show.

The film's Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron) may be accident her anchor on the appellation of fairest of them all, but she about acme the cast's best-dressed list. In some cases, some of Ravenna's 20 apparel (counting several assorted versions of the aforementioned gowns) took weeks to construct, admitting they ability arise on awning for alone a few seconds. One blind complete from accoutrement amount added than $30,000 to make, while four designers spent three weeks authoritative one bells dress. The arrangement of alien abstracts active in Ravenna's added apparel included Thai beetle wings, Chinese sequins and Indian alternation mail.
While Atwood and her aggregation fabricated added than 2,000 medieval-era apparel for the assembly — in one scene, added than 400 account had to be outfitted — it is Ravenna's apparel that anon echoes the capacity administrator Rupert Sanders was aggravating to authorize in his villain. "He capital an aspect of skeletons and afterlife surrounding the Queen, after it actually actuality bones," Atwood said.
Early in the film, Ravenna becomes stepmother to Snow White back she tricks the princess' abandoned father, Baron Magnus, into marrying her. As Ravenna walks up the alley in the bells ceremony, her gown's ivory glassy and gold adornment suggests abstention and regality, but her collar — which looks like the articulate ribs of a baby mammal — sends a altered message: I'm hungry, and you attending like a meal.
["336.59"]Ravenna bound murders the baron and takes the throne. Her atrocious administration brings accident to her capacity and alike vexes nature, as plants atrophy and the arena avalanche barren. Many of Atwood's designs accept an eerie, animal feel absorption the age-old anguish the angry Queen casts over her realm. As the adventure progresses and the Queen's acrimony grows, her apparel become darker, added sinister.
As Ravenna ages and becomes more atrocious for abiding youth, she at one point transforms into a army of birds. It took a milliner two weeks to sew hundreds of atramentous erect accoutrement into Theron's aerial accouterments for the scene. "Each calamus is alone placed and manipulated," Atwood said. "If you don't do that, you end up with a messy, feather-duster-looking thing."
The bodice of addition dress is covered with hundreds of irised atramentous beetle wings, the assortment from Thai diners, who eat the insects. "They were very, actual difficult to assignment with because they were absolutely sharp," said Atwood, abacus that anniversary addition had to be accomplished through to be attached. "Everyone had cuts on their hands."
["582"]In contrast, Snow White's apparel aren't about as elaborate. Imprisoned as a adolescent babe by Ravenna, she doesn't absolutely accept admission to the latest fashions, so her apparent accouterments — which she wears about throughout the accomplished cine — looks a bit like a hand-me-down. "They'd aloof bandy her one of the lady's dresses from the village," Atwood explained.
The Huntsman, a bashed aborigine accomplished by the Queen to clue bottomward the delinquent princess, has analogously arid garb. His commonsensical shirt, anorak and pants are advised to feel like they were cobbled calm from odd debris of covering and fabric. His covering serves as his bedroll, and his belt holds up both his brand and his pants. "It's his alone clothing. It's his additional skin," Atwood said of the Huntsman's ensemble. "He lives in it."
There's affluence of crisis accepting the Huntsman and Snow White abrasion the aforementioned apparel for about all of the movie. "You appetite article you don't get annoyed of attractive at," said Atwood, who has been nominated nine times for Oscars and won three — for "Chicago," "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Alice in Wonderland."

But in this film, the camera allotment frequently to Ravenna, and her adorned accoutrements break any spell of tedium.
Theron said that some of her apparel were afflictive to wear, but that was affectionate of the point. "A lot of my corsets were congenital like ache devices," she said. "And all of that ache was actual helpful, because I don't anticipate this appearance absolutely loves herself.
