Item Description
Christine Daaé
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
1988
Even though Christine is part of the chorus of Hannibal she definitely stands out from the crowd in this red and green slave girl costume. Starting from her feet, we begin with a pair of handmade, silky pink toe shoes that tie around trim ankles with pink satin ribbons. Traditional “ballet pink” tights are topped off with custom-dyed, green velvet briefs. The same green velvet is used alternately with custom-dyed red velvet to create the parti-colored corset that gives our bear the perfect “hourglass” figure that any Victorian woman would envy. To trim this tiny replica nearly 5,000 glass, crystal and gold metal beads were hand strung to create not only the skirt, but the bodice and arm trim as well. Around the hips, a heavy gold braid creates a girdle effect which sets off the tiny gold braid vertically taping all the corset seams. These front and back seams are then accented with tiny red and green cabochon stones rim-set in gold. All the jewelry was handmade with as much attention to detail as the originals. Small metal findings are encrusted with beads and Swarovski crystal rhinestones to recreate the look of the original costume design. These accents are seen not only as bracelets and a tiara but also as brooches on the bodice’s center front, lower front and back details. Christine’s signature mane of spiral, chestnut brown curls is her crowing glory as she is ready to take on the role of a leading lady. Carlotta, stand back!
