Scene: "Our Children"
This empire bodice dress was constructed in 8 basic pieces three times. The outerlayer of antique relplica lace is the part you see, but underneath is the dress of off-white satin and the underdress of an off-white cotton-poly blend. The sleeves are double hemmed for an added detail.
The dress was constructed to handle a tremendously quick scene change for many performances and two years later, is still being used!
This look was accessorized with white pearls and my signature handkerchief.
Scene: "Back to Before"
This (my second favorite of all of my costumes from this show) was used in the ten 'o clock showstopper, "Back to Before." It is also in 8 pieces and contains three layers. The outerlayer of lace is an antique replica pattern in gold, the slate blue underdress is a brushed satin and the dress keeps its shape with an off-white cotton-poly underdress. The sleeves were lengthened and a ruffle detail was added. The rosette provides a pretty and necessary detail to hide the skirt drape of the lace.
The look was accessorized with gold beaded jewelry and a large gold neclace featuring a large oval-shaped bloodstone pendant.
