I spent the weekend cleaning up the house and packing/unpacking various bins of stuff. Here are all the dress details as one of the items in the repacking bin was the new German dress. As I was going through the pictures it occurred to me that, while the construction isn’t overly ‘period’ in nature, it is perfect for the theatre in that it literally takes a minute to get into or out of the dress! Lots of garb is extremely fussy and can take a good twenty minutes to get into but not this one. This is simplicity and if you have a swimsuit (or other clothes) on underneath you could easily make a backstage change in seconds. I didn’t design it that way though. I designed it to be easy because I can be very claustrophobic about my clothes and I didn’t want to have to ‘need’ to get out of it ‘now’ and have to cut it off myself. So here is a walk-through of getting into or out of this dress. Please forgive me my wrinkles.
