Now, the curtain rod dress was an achievement all its own. But he did so much more. Every character I did was a collaboration with Bob,” Burnett says in the clip, praiseing Mackie’s collaborative efforts off-camera. She later revelead, “Bob designed every costume everyone wore, which amounted to 65 to 70 costumes a week.”
