andrewlloydwebber:Okay…. this is Belle’s village dress for the new UK Tour of Beauty and the Beast. But to me, this screams Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz more than anything. Honestly if you told me this was sundress from 2010, I’d believe you. The lack of ponytail, the peter pan collar, the prints. Also the lack of apron makes this feel even more like Dorothy. I remember seeing Courtney Stapleton make a comment along the lines of “Belle doesn’t wear an apron because she’s not serving anyone in this production” which is baffling to me.But, on the other hand, I like that they adapted the wigs to the actress, I like Belle’s glasses, and I love that the production custom made Belle dolls that actually look like the principal. I like the finale dress too. “Belle doesn’t wear an apron because she’s not serving anyone in this production” major “Belle doesn’t wear a corset because she’s Strong and Independent.” vibes. Aprons were practical to keep your clothes clean while you did chores, not indicative that you’re a maid/servant.Those plush dolls are extremely cute. -- source link
