Not only is her red hair incredible but I love the meaning behind the movie too. I played around with a few sketches but I'll probably end up doing a walking/tea dress with a puff of sheer fabric, similar to what she wears near her elbows.
So naturally, I decided to start with fabric since I believe that once you have the color the rest just falls into place. I went to my local fabric store with high hopes of finding a navy in either a sheer, silk, or light cotton. I was extremely disappointed! They had nothing! Needless to say, it was a very sad trip home.
The next day I was running a few errands and decided to pop into my local interior fabric shop, known that they had the best prices(always under $8 a yard!) and it wouldn't be to far off from what the ladies of the victorian era would have used(minus a few blends of course).
After an hour of shopping and trying to figure out what the best option was, I chose this beautiful light and silky fabric:
Now in interior design there is apparently no need for stating what type of fabric it is as long as it looks good. In this case it was good enough for me. Now I know what you're thinking.
"Why, Shayla! That looks nothing like the picture or what you where going for!" And yes it is different from the picture, however, it is almost a sweet mixture of her ceremony dress.
Now I just need to start sewing! Yay for my days off!
Happy costuming!
