magistera:At first, Sandy Powell wasn’t convinced that Cinderella’s (James) dress should be blue like her cartoon counterpart’s. “I wasn’t given any instruction by Disney on whether or [not] I should l use it, pay homage to it, or discard it,” Powell told Us Weekly. “I knew we were making a modern-day version—a new version, a live-action version—so I decided to ignore it.” After considering the ideas of a pink, white, and yellow dress, the designer landed back on blue “because it’s actually the prettiest color and really flattering,” she shared. To create the princess dress’ exact shade of cornflower blue, the Academy Award-winning designer layered panels upon panels of tulle in a rainbow of colors, giving the blue a shimmer effect when James moved. Another fun fact: The dress’ petticoat is so large, it boasts four miles of thread! (x) -- source link
