Costume Ideas – Final Blog – Post 2

Every Rose… is set in Cinderella’s dream, which made my developing ideas a challenge. As we are not following the conventional story of Cinderella the characters needed to look suitable to appear in Cinderella’s dream world, however the characters still needed to be recognizable to the audience.

 

Cinderella

Naïve young girl, who in her dream gets revenge on her ugly stepsisters.

Pinafore dress

  • Stereotypical of Cinderella.
  • Child-like dress.
  • Work wear.

Denim

  • Contemporary work material.
  • Radom strips of denim to create a rag effect.
  • Colour blue- Audience recognizes it to be the colour of Cinderella.

 White dress

  • Child-like.
  • Tea stained to look dirty.
  • Frayed and slit at the hem to show it has been well worn.

Blue make-up

  • Does not fit with original story of Cinderella however, correlates with her dream state.
  • Pretty but with an edge.
  • Looks like tears rolling down her face.
  • Colour blue- Audience recognizes it to be the colour of Cinderella.

  • Shows her poor status as well as her mistreatment from her step mother and step sisters.
