In Class Writing

To costume TiMoune the most important part is balancing the fact that she is a peasant but also that she is unique. She must be very feminine and young looking, but also dressed sensually. I see TiMoune in a dress, something down to just above her knees, tight at the waist and chest and flowing out by her hips. The straps will be thin because of the heat. The top would be a bit low cut, provocative but not overly exposing. She is thin because she is poor, but she has natural curves which will be shown off in the dress. The dress is white. All other peseants in my mind wear dark colors, easy to work in, not form fitting and dirty. TiMoune will wear a dress that stands out. It will be dirty because of her work, however the color will still be a bright white. This symbolizes a lot things. Her innocence, youth, bright personality, and hope. Also, it to me is also shows a sense of a clean slate, someone who has not experienced much and is open for change. TiMoune also would not wear shoes, her hair would up to show her face and of course no jewelry.
