Costume Design #2: A Memory of Lizzie

Lizzie Borden is the protagonist of the play. I decided to design her costume as my second one because there is evidence of what she wears in the script, although it is from the past. When Lizzie Borden killed her parents, she "had on a blue dress". I thought it would be a nice idea for her to still wear the dress so that people get a glimpse of what she wore that day. I added blood stains because she used an axe to kill her father and stepmother, so the blood must have spurted onto her clothes for sure. This dress is inspired from this website: http://www.zazzle.com/victorian_era_girl_in_long_blue_dress_photosculpture-153439203605710295. The dress on the website is an image of a lady wearing a Victorian Era dress. Lizzie's personality is very evil and cruel as she had the demented intentions to kill her own biological father with an axe 40 times. She could be labelled as a psychopath. I decided to keep her hair messy in the front because messy hair adds to her weird personality.
