Tallulah's Velvet Dress
 


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!).
