![]() ![]() This shot is from a series of studio photos taken as publicity stills with a friend of mine, Wally Wingert.Īnother shot of the Hannibal costume, this time without the dressing robe and with the diadem Christine wears as a member of the chorus. The dressing gown is of floral-patterned jacquard with embroidered trim at the cuffs and used as a tie around the waist (like Sarah Brightman's in the original London production). It's trimmed with yards and yards of antique gold braid, red and green faceted crystal beads, and red and green glass flat-back stones. ![]() The bodice is made of alternating red and green cotton velveteen, heavily boned like a corset and laced up the back. My re-creation of Christine's dressing gown with the Hannibal costume underneath. The one costume I wish I had made but didn't was Christine's beautiful blue bustle dress I never found a fabric I liked that matched closely enough for me to do itbut I'm still searching, so possibly I'll have some new photos to add if I ever do find the right material! ![]() Later I added some programs from shows around the world (Toronto, Canadian traveling cast, Sydney) and was able to take some design cues from them. Most of my costumes were built in the early '90s and are based most closely on the originals the Sarah Brightman wore in the London show, since the photos in the book were the only reference material I had at the time. Like many other people, I became entranced with Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical version of The Phantom of the Opera and set about re-creating some of the amazing costumes Christine wears in the show.
