1920′s Silk Net Dress

  • Production: Twelfth Night
  • NCSU University Theatre, September 2010
  • Costume Designer: Jen Dasher
  • Draper/Technician: Laura Parker

Crafted for NCSU’s production of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, set in the 1920′s.  The designer chose a slinky silk for the underdress, and a sheer silk net for the overdress.  The diamond-shaped beaded motifs were removed from a 1980′s beaded gown and appliqued onto the dress.  The belt was made from the sleeves of the 80′s beaded dress, backed onto duiponi.
