A look into my Phantom design: Hannibal Princess
I haven't drawn or designed anything Phantom-y for a long while now. So I want to show some insight on my costume designing (I guess lmao)
I always want my Hannibal to be grand, very risqué (but no midriffs!) and kind of Belle Époque exoticism. Furthermore, I strive for 1880s bustle silhouette in my costumes so I started Hannibal scene with the Hannibal Princess because I love @motherfuckinghannibalprincess so much.

I took a bit of Björnson's design (mostly the iconic apron drape) and added my own flair with asymmetric bodice, strings of beads and elongated earrings that connect to each other under the wearer's head. The tiara is in a bandeau style with wacky center.

This picture features the bustle draping design and the early concept from 2020. The bustle style is inspired from late 1870s Harper's bazaar fashion plate that I will refit it on 1880s silhouette.
The early concept has so many Björnson's influence which I am not loving. (I mean who would want their own design to be a hard referenced version of the original anyway)
So that's the post! I hope you enjoy some look into my little design project I do for fun 😊 I'll try to draw more Phanart soon!
My OC, Soraya in the costumes of Christine Daaé: Act 1
I need to thank @operafantomet thousands times for providing all the amazing references and sources for costumes and background. I haven't got enough time to design my own variations of each costumes. So as of now, they are Frankensteined together like German Slavegirl bodice (with bra-like collar) and epic red Elissa skirt, 2000s west end mint/pink rooftop with Rococo flair German decorations.
Act 2 is coming soon, I haven't finished Aminta yet so 🙇






"Tonight, I gave you my soul, and I am dead."
Oh, gotcha! And yikers...Seems like a bizarre choice done by the costumes leg. West end in general, from my observation, seems to be even more consistent than Broadway sometimes when it comes to the whole silhouette thing (except recently when they start putting a more second era oomph on Christine's costumes for the whole dress deflation situation 💀)
How come the wedding dress for Christine in the musical is somehow based of the bustle era? Which was in late 1880's. But then Wikipedia says its based of 1860s for the musical but now I don't know which to trust?
Always a good question. For this and more I give you the following tag:
THE TIMELINE ISSUE
Long story short, there's many different takes on when the story is set, both in the prologue and the main story. For example, the original cast album said 1861, but the West End stage show said 1881. Meanwhile Hamburg listed 1871, and the Japanese productions "mid 19th century". Today I think they all list "Late 19th century". And that's just the replica versions!
Meanwhile the prologue has been pushed from 1905 to 1911. But then "Love Never Dies" came along and claimed its main story was 1907.
So in short, nothing makes sense.
What's y'all opinion on POTO west end Masquerade lyrics change? I personally find the broadway lyrics very hard to understand and very terribly written. Like what??? What do you all sing like that?! I just hope that they'll return the og lyrics but it's probably not going to happen any time soon.
