Here is the outfit the character Gretel will wear as her play clothes made out of curtains. The curtains are this paisley in the play and they have a lace band at the bottom of them so I could add lace to the dress I also have a cording on the curtains so I could use that in the clothes as well.
The apron and such that you see is lining material from the curtain in the play. This is the youngest actress in the play she is 8 years old but she is so petite she wears a size four like a 4 year old. She also has lovely blond ringlet hair she is just adorable and I expect to steal the show because even in practice when she gets on stage all the other actors and crew all go awwww she is so cute. She is wearing bloomers so she can play leap frog on stage and still look like these are play clothes. The back of the dress has been modified since this photo was taken as 7 actors all ranging in age from 8 to 18 have to make a complete costume change in less than 1 min I made it so the bow now is sewn to look like it is tied but does not actually have to be tied and does not cross over the zipper area. This way she can just unzip this and droop this on the floor in the back as she is putting on the other costume. The bloomers I think we are just going to push up and tuck under the other out fit which is the sailor like uniforms. After the play I will add a hook and eye to the top of this dress but not know as the actors do not have time to deal with it anyway.
