"We wanted to make all the costumes true to the time period and work
with the very distinctive 1970s Texan look. There are a lot of cowboy
hats and boots, Western-cut shirts, and jeans for the men, and the
Chicken Ranch girls all wear garments of shorter length and bright
colors with varying styles to reflect their individual personalities.
"It was important to us that the girls didn't look trashy, since the Chicken Ranch is a place where Miss Mona and the girls have control, and they have to maintain Miss Mona's standards for how the business is run. It was great to get to design for such a wide variety of characters, from prostitutes to tacky businessmen to pink gingham-clad chorus singers, and the fact that it's in 1973 added to the fun of it."
