Outlander Wardrobe and language

[terry dresbach]

You know, the reality is that unless there is an unlimited budget, which from my experience does not exist in any enterprise, one decides which are the important "battles" and which are the ones where compromise is needed. I imagine you have a notebook somewhere which lists all the "if I only had time and money" modifications you would make -- sort of a wish list.

I think you and Ron, and the rest of your talented team, have done a wonderful job. The very fact that there are a myriad of people who want this change and that change, and why could this not be done this way, etc., points to the fact that your work has been noticed and is important enough to be commented on.

Keep up the good work.

Someone was pointing out our machine stitching. I tried to calculate when the show would have gone on air if we made a couple of thousand costumes by hand. I think it was something like 10 years from now for the first season.
Since we had seven weeks instead of ten years, it is a very long list. But not really as long as it could be. Getting it right was our number one priority. So when you see things that there is no evidence could have existed or happened, it is not because we are lazy, or didn't care or didn't have time, it is a clear and conscious choice. The list would be composed of creative components that we wanted to add or perfect, but just didn't have the time.
Thanks for your support and your clarity.
