Lab Hours 1

  I forgot that I had worked on the earlier costumes. My first one was with Anne. For hers we went up to the closet and fiddled around with some dress ideas. We checked through what felt like every dress until we found something that fit her!! She is going to be wearing a black dress with almost a creamy gold design for the accents on the dress.
  We also found this attachable secondary skirt that added volume and puffiness. Then there was this green ruffle type thing it was really interesting that we played around from having it worn on top of the overskirt or under the overskirt. The overskirt is black and i felt the green ruffle thing looked better under the black overskirt it blended better but still kept a flair of color. It was cool to see how the gown came together and when we added the petticoat it was perfect. It was hard to try and picture what gown to use and the colors after actually seeing anne and running into the size problems.    
   However it helped keep me on my toes thinking about what would create the look of a wealthy country wife. That day we also had Armin and Heminge come in. They were very entertaining and cooperative! They are pictured first in their gowns for the rehearsal that takes place during the play! Anne is seen below and the bottom image is our own Robert Cecil. I didn't feel he was tied together until we added his medallion as an official of her Majesty the Queen of England.
