The Love of Three Oranges, Clarice costume, 2011-2012.

Autumn term 2011 we started working on Gozzis comedy "The Love of Three Oranges", where we were tasked with creating our own world to set the story in, then start designing characters.

I chose to set my comedy in a world inspired by court life in France around the french revolution, making all the characters very patriotic yet comedic.

We then had to choose one of our designs and make it, to be ready for the yearly Costume Show in January 2012.

I chose to make the character Clarice - designed wearing a gown using the basic silhuette of the era, with a corset and polonaise made of french flags in different sizes, and a tall wig with a glittery silver ship on top, drawing inspiration from Marie Antoinette.
