Costuming as a film technique allows the audience to condemn and admire certain characteristics such as Sally Bowles’s naive attitude towards the natural world. Throughout the movie, Bowles is seen to boost her personal corruption by wearing extravagant and revealing clothing.

The use of Sally Bowles wearing bold makeup, fur coats, green nails and an unusual fringe allows the audience to see how Sally wishes to be seen as “shocking”. When Sally Bowles is in the real world, the audience can see just how flamboyant her attire really is with the contrastingly plain costumes of the Berlin women and men.

In medieval literature female desire can be expressed through clothes and Marie De France uses this imagery to illustrate Lanval's desire towards the women he is approached by throughout the poem. "They were richly dressed, tightly laced, in tunics of dark purple" (lines57-59). The detailed descriptions of the women's clothing symbolize wealth and power, similar to what Lanval truly desires. The knight is escorted up to the tent where Marie uses a "golden eagle" to further illustrate the power and wealth of the lady. Marie describes her clothing or lack of clothing: "she had thrown over herself, a precious cloak of white ermine, covered with purple alexandrine, but her whole side was uncovered" (lines101-104).

Her shoes especially were way too contemporary to fit with everything else, but her other costume, a white dress with a green robe, blended really well and fit the time period. The other thing that I did not was Jonah Fujikawa’s character Phillip, I felt like at times he did not really know what he was saying. He had all of his lines memorized but the way he said them just seemed lost at times. One of the things I really enjoyed about the play was Charles Davis’s character, John. I thought Charles fit the role very well and portrayed John very accurately from his attitude to his boyish outlook on life.

Literary critic William Egginton notes in An Epistemology of the Stage, that when it came to costume the "Spanish public was extremely sensitive to such signifiers of class and could not, for example, tolerate or comprehend a scene in which the signs of social status presented by costume and speech would conflict".

Women dressing as men was a common device used by playwrights in the Golden Age (mujer vestida de hombre ) and one wonders was it merely because it was practical?
