This is Cinderella's completed costumes. Headdresses are still in the making...This is the description that will be put along side the sketches for display outside the BB for all those who watch the show.
MAID COSTUME
Pattern
- The maids in Chinese Opera are dressed in long shirts, pants, an apron as well as a piece of cloth in front.
- A simple design using flowers is used to show her youthfulness. No heavy embroidery is used as she is just a maid.
Colours
- Light blue was used to compliment her passive and gentle nature.
- Red was used as a contrasting colour to show Cinderella’s daring side.
Headdress
- Maids did not wear headdresses in those days. Instead, their hair was styled up with colourful clips.
Makeup
- The basic Chinese Opera style makeup is used.
- The rouge on her cheeks is to emphasize her youthfulness and her eyeliner is not pointy like her stepmothers and sisters which shows us she is on the ‘good’ side.
BALL GOWN
Pattern
- Various types of flowers, butterflies, hearts and other designs are used to show her youthfulness.
- There is a fairly heavy amount of embroidery suggesting she is from a rich family.
Colours
- Blue is used once again to show us her passive, kind nature.
- Red, green, pink and peach are used as she is young. The more number of colours used, the richer the character is.
Headdress
- Comprises of jewels, flowers and tassels, which all point out that she is young, beautiful and rich.
