Lee Holloway Blouse

In the movie Maggie Gyllenhaal wears a formal style blouse which is white with black dots. The most important thing to look for when choosing a blouse is that it has a bow style collar. |
Lee Holloway Skirt
A skirt will be needed for your Secretary costume.
This should be a black pencil skirt that is about knee length. |
Lee Holloway High Heels

These should be black high heels which look like the style of shoe you would wear if you worked in an office. |
Lee Holloway Pantyhose Lee Holloway Stockings
When it comes to your legs you will need to wear pair of nylons. These can be stockings or pantyhose.

This is based on the scene where Maggie Gyllenhaal crawls along the floor with an envelope in her mouth. |
Lee Holloway Saddle
The final part of making your own Lee Holloway costume is a saddle that would be used on a horse.
