Please post your drabble (traditional, double, irritating) in the comments. Please use this header (or a variation) and your writing MUST be about smalls.

Traditionally, a drabble is a piece of fiction that is exactly 100 words long. However, it is not uncommon for people to label any extremely short piece of writing a "drabble". This is known to irritate some readers, while others consider the distinction unimportant.

The exquisite costumes for Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) were designed by Eiko Ishioka. That year, she won the Oscar for Costume Design, and deservedly so. Her work for this film was truly amazing.

For this post, I'll be discussing costumes for the characters of Dracula and Mina / Elisabeta. They each had a lot of intricate costumes (too many for one post), so I'll just be focusing on those that connect them as a couple.

Please note that my essay contains spoilers for the film.
Warnings: There's discussion of death, suicide, and reincarnation, all related to the true love of the characters. One costume photo depicts a character death.

Pick a favorite film and character (can be more than one character if you wish), and then analyze, discuss and / or review how their costume(s) define them, in relation to plot and the world of their film.

Have fun!
