    I'm interested in Grecian wear by Rachel Weisz in Agora. I've searched costume patterns but they all seem low grade. I love the clothes so much I want to incorporate them into my wardrobe and wear them as regular clothes. The designer's name is Gabriella Pescucci . I love the umpire waist and embellishments Rachel wears as Hypatia. Can you help me with this please?

I enjoy fiber arts of all kinds, and if they're small enough to work on in front of a movie, all the better!
