[@Dontboxmein7]

Wow I didn't know this was common. Why is this done this way?

[@cjmantel6026]

@@Dontboxmein7 I don't think it is terribly common. I work with a lot of smaller theaters, so budget wise its often easier to purchase pieces and change them. Also, I work in a smaller market and don't have a garment district at hand. Sometimes I just can't find the type and color of striped fabric I need to make my designs happen. As an artistic choice done the way it's done here? Beyond the usual budget or even prep time of most of the productions I work on. But it sure is fun to drool over the results. I especially loved seeing her previous versions, and how they compare.

[@elfieblue3175]

With additional scholarly commentary later confirming that, "Upon closer examination of this dress, it appears the maker, whoever they were, attempted to use two different formulae of painted dyes; while we conjecture the maker had a preference for one used in abundance over the other, it would seem, given the period this dress was made, in fact, right around the time of the Millennium Plague, the supply of the preferred dye dried up, as is evident in the lack of green striping on the ruffles and an incomplete application to the stripes on the skirt, and the maker was forced to finish what little was left with the ubiquitous formula of brushed-on dye they had to hand. This period of creativity was rife with examples of resourceful substitutions, from culinary endeavours to scrap wood furniture etc. etc...."

Colleen Atwood is a great designer and I’m sure she’d be very proud of your project!

[@shonitagarcia3222]

Beautiful job! Bravo! The reasoning behind the green lines, you are correct, it is a trick for the camera to differentiate between the white and black to better pick up the sharp crisp lines on camera without accidentally blurring the two colors during movement. The off- white is an old theater trick. Because often with theater and filming, the actors tend to be under large bright spot lights which can be washed out with bright white fabrics being lit up. So an off- white fabric is better suited for the eyes. And it comes off as white on camera and on stage. We're learning these things in my costume design classes in college. I love your attention to detail. I personally would have gone to just straight up hand painting with a soft pliable acrylic paint myself just because I'm OCD about even colors. I'm pretty sure they still used fray check. Because I use an old paint brush to apply it lightly to frayed on purpose edges to create that texture. But I do like the rustic appeal of the different shades of black with the markers as they kind of give that hand drawn in with pencil-look. Like when we sketch and the coloring in of stripes would look like a bunch of sticks or lines of different shades of darks and lights together to create a look. And Tim Burton is known to tend to create characters with varied sticks or lines etched into their costumes somewhere. Like in corpse bride with the stripes in the suits. Or Beetlejuice the character himself being carried over with this striped dress. Very cool. Trim off those strings! You have a close up of all of them on camera at the end there. Lol. Thank you so much for sharing this. Stay safe out there.

[@chillinginthenameof]

This dress seems popular enough with makers that companies could make a killing by releasing a reproduction of it (marker texture on the black sections included) even if it's just a cotton print or recycled polycotton. I know I don't have the time or patience to colour in fabric like this for something I wouldn't be wearing all the time, but if I could get the fabric, I'd definitely think about doing a modernised version of the dress for day-to-day casual cosplay fun!
