When I was in high school, we did "Kiss Me, Kate". My friend's aunts did the costumes and copied the "Shrew" costumes for the leads. They were GORGEOUS. I believe they made the headdress of wire, covered with masking tape or fabric tape (for bulk), then painted. Or you could make it out of wicker, hot melt glued together, then painted (the easy way).

I recently saw The Taming of the Shrew and wondered about her head dresses and hair arrangements. I thought they were beautiful so I paused the film over and over to sketch the wedding dress, hair and all, then the complete set she wore at her sister's wedding. That wire thingy must have taken a lot of time to weave in and out and around in those angles. I'd love one like that. It's crown like but still a head garment. For my purposes, it doesn't matter if its authentic period. I think I'll make one to go with a gown I'm creating. Don't know all the stages yet but going to be maroon and gold, light ivory and black designs on the front. Maybe a blackwork chemise with blooming sleeves to show off the blackwork. I love embroidry so it may have lots of hidden little things only I'll know about. If I get to the sketch stage with final decisions, I'll post it.Sincerely, Rebecca Rautine> _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
