Titanic (1997)

Costume Designer: Deborah L. Scott

Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet)

Academy Award winner Deborah L. Scott designed thousands of costumes for the romantic saga Titanic. The striking costume for the viewer’s introduction to young Rose DeWitt Bukater reflects her stiff and structured character at the beginning of the story. The boarding outfit is a finely tailored fitted suit made of white twill fabric with dark violet pin-stripes, lapel, cuffs, belt and buttons created in fine royal purple satin with a stiff white shirt and thin tie underneath. The jacket extends beyond the hips and the narrow hobble skirt constricts Rose’s movement, displaying a fashionable pre-World War I silhouette.
