I have finally laid may hands on this design! Thanks to Raymond
for giving it to me. This costume featured in both "T-Bag
Strikes Again" from Ep. 3 onwards, and also was used for
the whole of "Bounces Back". It was made from polyester
crushed velvet in two colours - deep burgundy and a rust red.
The lining of the oversleeves was gold lame.
You
will notice from the sketch that the loops of beads and pendants
were also to be used on the neckline of the dress, and pendants
were also to be used on the armbands. These were omitted from
the final design. I feel that this was a wise decision, as I have
pinned the loops onto my replica's neckline, and it makes the
dress look over-decorated.
A
spot of trivia about this sketch - the design for the Gardener
is on the back of it (or this design is on the back of the Gardener,
since he came first!).
