Pantomime Dame 2010

One of our second year projects last year was to design and create a pantomime dame costume.  I was given Nurse Nelly from the Snow White and the Seven Dwarves pantomime.

The design idea was inspired by 1930s nurse uniforms translated into the traditional pantomime style.  The costume consisted of a fitted blue dress with exaggerated, gathered sleeves, red and white gingham bloomers, a white PVC apron with a flashing belt, a red-sequin lined blue cape, and a tall blonde wig with novelty earrings.
