We had both wanted to do this costume in the years past but were too busy for it, but this year we were able to start months early. She tries to tell Raoul about the Phantom and her growing fear, and he tries to comfort her with his love. Firstly, Emily is absolutely fantastic at what she does, and everyone should have a chance to own one of her pieces.

I think the movie definitely had better costumes, if nothing else because they weren't stuck in the 1980s.The bodice is corseted, of alternating red and green panels, and with the seams covered with gold trims.

All that was left was the mask so after many youtube tutorials, we plastic wrapped my hair back and lubed up my face. At the rooftop she wears a mint or blue hooded cloak - the shade makes it looks like Christine is bathed in moonlight - while she during the applause wears a big, “powdered” wig.

I think the filmmakers wanted the scene to be dark, with a sense of foreboding preluding the Phantom's entrance, but it comes at the cost of pacing.

I also prefer the movie over the play because i feel like i could sink right into it and feel as the characters do but in the play all i could think about is the excitement of it all instead of the true meaning of the phantom of the opera. The dress was beautifully made but there was some stuff on the dress around my arms and the buttons for the cape that didn’t quite work out as well as I’d like but otherwise it was beautiful. A dressing gown is a garment worn when dressing up in the morning or changing at night, covering the underwear. When Christine goes from playing Serafimo to playing The Countess, replacing Carlotta in the lead role, she is dressed up in a grand costume. Spoiler Alert: Though this musical doesn’t end in a joyful wedding celebration, at least I still get to wear the dress!I spend a lot more on the mask then I should have but I am also a painter so the leftovers will be put to good use.
