Thinking of the material, my first idea was to use the fabric of a second hand wedding dress and adjust it to my design but the prices on ebay start from 50£. Considering my previous practise with the ballerina costume, I desided that they would perfectly fit to my design and they will also provide the low cost I was aiming at. Additionally, the choreography of West Side Story is seriosly influenced by ballet movement which will also fit the fabric into the concept. Looking at the design, the dress is slighty shorter than the other ones which comes mostly from the netting fabric which adds puffness to the design. Another reason for that is that in the main scene with that costume the character are on thei knees. The lenght will prevent draging of the dress revealing her sillhoette. On the other hand the plastic bag layer which will be seen from tabove will add depth to the dress. The orange color is kept on the three design as a notes which relates the character to The Sharks gang following the approach in the production (There to that element responds the red belt.)
