They import a lot of different fabric to get the right effects; they try to stay true to the Disney film for certain characters such as Elsa and Anna. One of Eduardo Castro's favourite pieces is Robin Hood’s costume, because of the detail and time that went into the piece. The easiest piece for Castro to design was Snow White's wedding dress as it was the fi

Into the Woods is a 2014 American musical fantasy film directed by Rob Marshall, and adapted to the screen by James Lapine from his and Stephen Sondheim's Broadway musical. A Walt Disney Pictures production, it features well know cast members including Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, James Corden, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine and Johnny Depp. Inspired by the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales of "Little Red Riding Hood", "Cinderella", "Jack and the Beanstalk", and "Rapunzel", the film is a fantasy genre centred on a childless couple, who set out to end a curse placed on them by a vengeful witch. Ultimately, the characters are forced to rectify the consequences of their actions. Colleen Atwood was the costume designer for the film, she based each character off a different era, and the fox’s costume that Jonny Depp wears is based of the 1930s illustrations. The baker’s wife’s costume was made to look hand made yet

When designing I looked at 1300's fashion, it was very simple and had very little shape, long sleeves were a big hit in that century. I wanted to add different head garments as I saw a lot of weird headpieces.  In the story there wasn’t much of a description of her outfit, I only found one line. " Her dress embroided with Gold and Pearls " I tried adding some gold to the pink gown to link to this sentence. I trialled adding pink and blue to my dresses to link them to Disney's original costumes, I'm not too pleased with the outcome as I think the colours are too overpowering and take away the effect of the garments. If I could change anything I would change the colours as I find them to be too distracting and I would trial gold and silver too for a contrast.

I made a tally and let my classmates decide which they found astetically pleasing. They chose the first one, blue corset and red balls, I think they chose this one because it attracts you to the arms and relates more to the original disney costume. My 3rd and 4th Gown was designed to be her wedding dress I wanted to add a bit of colour, so I experimented using red and blue, My favourite is the blue as its more of a royal colour and complements the white base. Gown 5 is my favourite piece it looks links more to the original Disney costume, as well as compliments each piece astetically, I like the pattern I created on the top it links the 16th century fashion and Disney costume very well.

I based Snow White's garments off the 16th century fashion, I wanted to make sure the clothes weren't too noticeably different to the Disney originals. I will be colouring in all the garments using Photoshop on my surface pro 4. In the story there wasn't any description on her outfit so I based them off the fashion of the time, I want to make the colours link to the Disney original colours; blue,red and yellow.
