The 5 wives are also referred to as Immortan Joe’s prime breeders. They wear a variety of natural-colored, cotton garments. (Do not use white fabric! The fabric might appear light on film in some scenes, but it is not white!)
“If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to provide stains on your fabric, try a coffee wash. I did some test strips this weekend and can add some pics later, but a 5-min to a 1-hour dip in a hot coffee wash with grounds will make the fabric look sandy/slightly soiled really well. Also it smells nice after you rinse and lightly wash it.”

“George loved Zoë’s short hair, and we thought Toast would have chopped it off to be feisty…” – Lesley Vanderwalt, makeup designer
