In conversation with Alexander Ballinger, Phyllis Dalton (1925-2025) revealed how she created some of film’s most iconic costumes.

Her work includes costumes for Laurence Olivier’s “Henry V”, “The Man Who Knew Too Much”, “Lawrence of Arabia”, “Doctor Zhivago”, “Oliver!”, “A Private Function” amongst many others. Much of the book’s content is sourced from Dalton’s personal archive and gives a unique insight into the world of costume design, which sets the tone for much of the authenticity and plausibility of the films’ characters.
