Greetings, all.
I am helping with a fundraiser for the March of Dimes. It's a silent
auction/live auction/dancing/socializing event, and the theme is "Let
Them Eat Cake", in the style of Marie Antoinette. Instead of catered
dinner, the food will be desserts. So we are trying to play up the
frothy, festive, over-the-top attitude. I need to dress about 6 actors
in the style, but I want to make the costumes less cumbersome, and
hopefully easier to do than "real" 18C.
Please and thank you: I need ideas from all you guys - any suggestions
are welcome! Anyhoo - I'm thinking of having my women wear fishnets
and dance trunks, and constructing some sort of pannier/skirt to tie
around the waist. What movie am I thinking of (or play?) that had
panniers made of some king of sparkly tubing, worn without an
overskirt? Aaaargh. And how can I make some "easy" corsets in the
same style?
I've got $5 long blonde wigs from WalMart which i can build into the
extreme style I want, using tulle to add volume. But please put on
your thinking caps for the rest of the garb. (I need suggestions for
men's garb as well.)
TIA from a grateful fellow garbwhore.
