Costumer Polly Smith literally had two months from her last day on the series Dinosaurs to the start of shooting of A Muppet Christmas Carol. She had to dress every Muppet and human in the film. "I was flying by the seat of my pants that whole time," she remembered. "I always had something in my hands so if I was talking to anybody, I was also rolling in the edge of a cravat. Or, I actually took handfuls of coats home at night because I had a really good buttonholer on my sewing machine at home. I just couldn't relax; there just wasn't time to relax!" And the first day of production featured the biggest scene of the film in the square. Dave Goelz added, "I would add to that the costumes that the Muppets have worn meant that they are better dressed than we are. They always have been at. The Muppets have real pockets in their costumes. They have real lining in their jackets. There's so much fidelity."
