Costumes for Mike Leigh’s movie were created by Welsh costume designer Lindy Hemming. The two had already worked on some films before, Topsy-Turvy being the last one. The designer shared that Leigh had an impact on how she would work later on, stating that he had a “unique method of improvising everything”. In one of her interviews, Hemming shared that when creating a costume, a designer also has to go through the same process as an actor does, trying to find out who the character is, how they are being portrayed, and how they are going to act and behave.
