The scene from The Firebird by @ramliibrahimofficial @duaspace @malaysianphilharmonicorchestra
A major throw back this MCO.
Let‘s zoom in to check out the details.. You will find my favourite pleated tulle by @pleats.by.looi , lace patchwork, beading details, embroidery and hand painted work on the costumes.
The pleated translucent tulle skirts on the @sutrafoundation dancers as Princesses were cut in a circular shape to give magical fantasy effect to their movements. It was hand dyed and painted on the hem of the skirt in gold. Extra details like black beaded laces were added to enhance the look.
Can you find the wicked magician in this photo? Easy.. he is right next to the Prince. Magician was wearing a Golden mask, black leotard with hand dyed pleated wrap and a fairy garden over his shoulder with a golden magic snake.
On Prince, he was having a 3- piece suit of an Emperor inspired outfit. White cotton Chinese wrap shirt, green Shantung silk top with imperial border hand embroidery and a pair of beaded harem trousers.
As on the main Princess, her see-thru costume was made in full lace, hand dyed in natural tones and beaded neckline effect.
All headgears and accessories were also made by @melindalooicouture team.
It was a great experience working with them. I learnt so much about theatre costumes technically. Have to say costumes for movie production and theatre are very different.
Time to share more on what I have done from the past. Please do share your stories about your work too. I would love to read about it!
Have a great ‘Stay Home Stay Safe‘ day!
