Movies about cowboys and cowgirls have always made for great entertainment. Part fact, part fiction – and almost always heroic in some way be it through quest or character. The making of those characters is often its own story – a different yet equally engaging tale.  Bullets and Bustles: Costumes from Lonesome Dove will feature the costumes of Captain Augustus “Gus” McCrae; Captain Woodrow F. Call, former Ranger; Joshua Deets; and a woman we are proud to claim as a cowgirl, Clara Allen. All costumes were carefully conceived  by award-winning costume designer, Van Ramsey.
