Of Mice & Men by John Steinbeck Curley's Wife - final dress (death dress) Costume design by Pamela Rehberg Garment by Samantha Lemieux, with some stitching by Maggie Halberg and Jason Orlenko UW-Milwaukee, Spring 2007-2008
Done for UW-Milwaukee's Mainstage production of the classic Of Mice and Men. Which I dislike. But, that's another story...
Again, if you can tell, designs by Pam involve lots of flounces and foof (check the West Side dress) and this was indeed the case. There is an under dress of red silk, that is a strappy number in bright, bright red silk. The over fabric is a sort of floaty chiffon fabric, with what appeared on first glance to be a most gawd-awful print, but worked incredibly well with the red underneath.
The main dress has circular ruffles for sleeves, circular ruffles along the neckline, and insets of full circles (in tiers, none the less!) set into slits in the skirt. Unfortunately, we didn't have nearly enough fabric to do the originally-designed three tiers on each sleeve, as well as three on each inset - too bad, or it would have been another dress she could have killed someone with!
Oh, this is indeed the last dress Curley's Wife wears - the one she is molested and then killed in. I find it quite funny, myself, that I would get that dress.
I am rather proud of this one, as it is so foofy and whatnot...
i read the book and saw the movie for my english class, it grew on me but wasnt my favourite novel, i did like the character of curelys wife as we had to study her for the exam
I'll join you on that one! The dress was fun to make, but I still dislike the show/book... I do like the fact that I got the molestation/murder dress, though
