Venus
Costume Construction
This was the second costume I built for this actress, and she was one of my favorites to dress. Sadly, this gown was only onstage for about 30 seconds, as it was what Venus wore to be "examined" by the physicians. Step out, get stripped. Nonetheless, there was great care in the fit and construction of the dress. The designer made a few changes between the sketch and the fabirc purchase, cutting the commercial trim and replacing it with a lace edge.The sheer layer was finished with French seams, and the lace ediging was handstitched. Patterend, cut, and constructed by MarciAgnes.
