Dragonfly.... Anyone?

Hello Dhaaarlings...

Costuming for "Alice" is getting under way... 

I spent the afternoon Monday  taking the initial measurements for costumes for about 40 of the school students in the production...

I was asked to come up with some ideas for Dragonfly Costumes for some of the primary school age kids that will be extras in some of the scenes

I figured track pants and matching tops in black, brown or navy...

combined with wings... That was the easy part...

The Initial Sketches...

The wings and eyes were a bigger challenge...

But..

 by using a supply of coat hangers, stockings, bird netting, a headband, extra wire, a "Pool Noodle" and some "bitchin' stitchin'! "....

I came up with 2 prototypes.


Et Voila...

1. Dragonfly with net wings...

2. Dragonfly with stocking wings

I think they turned out pretty well with 2 options to show the team at Fridays meeting... I'm thinking I've done good!

We shall see!


Now I'm off to Celebrate my recent win!
