As part of our b-tec course we have to construct a costume that is made well and good to perform in. As rock challenge is a big part of school (Kings Langley) our teachers thought it would be a great idea for us to make some of the costumes for the performance, which will be performed in both February and June/July.
Our theme is A Midsummer Night's Dream and we have been asked to construct the costume for the fairy scene. We were all very happy when given this costume task as we can make them really pretty, girly and big so that they wil impress everyone when the fairies dance on stage.
I have made a costume for one of Titania's fairies. I have used elastic and netting to form the basic skirt. I have adsded strips of satin pieces in a range of different colours which fit the theme and go with the liatard and tights. The colours I used are light pink, purple, light turquoise and shimmery purple. I used these colours because they compliment each other and will stand out on stage. These colours also fit in with the scene and theme. For decoration, I have added a pink rose which I made by a step-by-step process. I also used this process for making the leaves that will go on the skirt. I have also added a rose and two leaves on the liatard. This is to make it stand out more and look beautiful with the scene.
I have ensured that the costume is made well and fits correctly. It will have lights underneath to add effect. I will also help to make the main character costumes such as Titania, cobweb, mustardseed and peaseblossom.
