We are thinking about using a chiffon skirt for the bottom half of the costume. To go with this we want a top which has sleeves so that it shows the effect of water on the clothing. One way that we could do this was buying a top that we can sew chiffon material onto it. I was talking to Georgie (our singer) who is good at textiles about the costume and she offered to sew the material onto a top. This would mean we would have to buy some Chiffon material from a haberdashery aswell as a top and a skirt (X2 for the two actors underwater). Below is a picture of a possibility for the top. The reason why this could possibly work is because firstly it is very girly, but also it has a seem which Georgie would be able to open up and attach strips of chiffon so that underwater they can flow up.
Heres a picture of a skirt that we have found which is good for the underwater as it has layers and is also mostly lightweight and also see-through. One problem however is that it has the white skirt underneath which is block colour - but the reason for getting it is so that the dress isn't too floaty everywhere.
