As many as two hundred and fifty children playing elves graced the set at any one time, dressed in costumes that couldn’t help but make you smile. "Some of the most beautiful floral patterns originate in the Art Nouveau period," says costume designer Ingrid Ferrin, whose fabric choices were rich and textured, favoring jewel tones and delicate paisley and floral patterns. "The costumes evolved as we met the children and realized what their Elf world jobs would be. We’ve created distinctive costumes for Baker Elves, Workshop Elves, Naughty and Nice Elves, Stable Elves, and more."
The stable elves for example wear jodhpurs, leather aprons, gloves and leather, train-engineer type hats. "I’ve drawn from various European traditions –dirndl skirts, Scandinavian sweaters, clogs and berets," Ferrin elaborates. "Then put them all together in a whimsical mix of colors, shapes and textures."
And what would Christmas be without toys? In one scene, Scott Calvin treats a group of jaded high school teachers to vintage Christmas toys that reawaken in them the long forgotten joys of childhood. "The vintage toys were our biggest challenge," recalls properties master Dan Sissons. "Luckily, Christmas was coming so it was prime time to search for toys. Toy dealers bring out their stash in the two-to-three months before Christmas. We started in October and managed to get everything we were looking for." Even after Lembeck called cut, the cast kept right on playing with their toys.
