945. KIRSTEN DUNST “CLAUDIA” COSTUME CREATED FOR INTERVIEW
WITH THE VAMPIRE. (Warner Bros., 1994) This is the original 3-piece Victorian-style “natural form” bustle
gown created for the movie. Consisting of (1) blue satin, paneled
bodice piece with ornamental black velvet applique’ and meticulous
black beading, hook and loop back closure (1) multi-layered bustle
skirt, giving the illusion of richly layered skirts and petticoats, with
patterned silk fabric, black bead edging detail, pleated ruffles at the
hem and billowing satin bustle. Marked “Kirsten” on bias label, with
snaps and hook and loop back closure, and, (1) voluminous ruched
bustle train, currently pinned, but needing permanent reattachment in
the back. This beautiful, period hero costume shows some mild sport
fading and production wear and soil (dried mud on back skirt hem),
but remains in good condition, having been carefully archived by the
studio. Accompanied with an original Warner Bros. Studios Certificate
of Authenticity. $3,000 – $5,000
