#tbt to the time @karenfairchild of @littlebigtown filled us in on the time @karlawelchstylist saved the day on the set of Better Man. Tap #linkinbio for more gems! “I’m really fortunate to work with Karla Welch, who is amazing. Karla had a vision of that @roberto_cavalli dress right off the bat. I think it was the first thing I tried on. She was like, ‘Put this on,’ and we were done. The director of photography, Christopher Probst, was doing handheld stuff and going to chase me through the woods, and I was going to burst out and run in these fields. I said, ‘Let’s just try it. If I have to buy the dress, we’ll buy the dress. It will be a memento. Text Karla and ask her how much the dress is, and I’ll do the first shot.’ So, I take off running, we’re going through the woods, [and the DP] steps on the dress and we rip a hole in it. It was the first scene, the first take. I look around and there is this big gaping hole, right at the seam.She goes, ‘Well, good news, it’s only $800.’ I’m like, ‘Then, it’s mine. We’ll make it part of the repertoire. We won’t panic.’ We keep running through the field, we’re doing take after take after take. In the meantime, @ecduzit comes back and goes, ‘I was wrong—it’s $800 a week to rent, and there will be a huge damage fee.’ It was thousands and thousands of dollars if we were going to buy it. I took it off during lunch and she hand-sewed it, and it was perfect. It was right on the seam and she sewed it back together. That is my Cavalli story!”
