If you&#8217;re familiar with the story, then you&#8217;ll probably realise that the *daisies* that we had to stitch onto the handkerchiefs are significant for one of the characters. We&#8217;re thinking that Carey Mulligan&#8217;s makeup will get smeared all over our lovely embroidery as she does a lovely little on-camera weep into the handkerchief! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rARN6agiW7o?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately there&#8217;s no sign of our starring roles in the trailer itself &#8211; how could they leave us out?!<\/p>\n<p>In a discussion with friends, one friend wondered whether in the trench scene at 2:04, Leo\/Gatsby might in fact be holding said handkerchief as a lovers memento.

We think it probably should, seeing the props department went way over their allocated handkerchief budget with our two hand embroidered little numbers.
