Maria - home/work dress, sketch

This dress is worn by the character in two scenes: the balcony scene and the scene at the bridal shop The image I was looking for creating this gown was a more simple and ordinary considering the fact that at the bridal shop Maria is at work. I also followed the line creatide in the production adding some rebellion notes to the concept. In the production the these notes can be found in the extra seams on the surface of the dress. respectively in my design they can be found in the upper and the enxteding layer of the dress.

Recycled Materials:

The materials on the dress unlike on the previous one are not shiny due to the casual style I was looking for (again following the concept created from the director and the costume designer in the initial meetings)
The belt is made of washing sponges sewn on the fabric. The upper decoration layer and the extending layer on the skirt are made of plastic bags again adding to the rebellious notes in the dress. Unlike on the previous dres, here the extra layer of the skirt is made as an extension of the skirt  and is sewn on the surface of the fabric.
