Mme D : Act I - The BF

Madame Dubonnet : Act I
"The Boy Friend"

Original Design


Well, more dresses that I was finally able to compile the pictures and upload! Hooray!

Unfortunately, this one looks a lot darker in my little sewing room than on stage, because I can't get my task lighting to light it up very well - hopefully, there will be better pictures later on.

One change from the design with this one is the sash - the darker one was just too much on stage, so we went with a lighter lavender sash, which is matched by flowers on her hat. I get to see how it looks today, and hopefully it's all good…

The dress is out of a sparklie knit that is black with a ton of bright purple lines and swirls all over it. It looks like it is a wrap dress, but it's permanently sewn closed just for ease (and I <3 that buckle on the side!!)

The whole production is rather overwhelming, and I still have a lot of work to do, but I'm hoping to get a few more of the outfits I've finished uploaded here for you to see, and I'm going to find out today about photographing the show and putting it up, and seeing if there are any issues with that…

Anywho! I hope you like them so far!
