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 🙇
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.
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!

Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were

WHO CHEERED
Christine updos seem to be a thing of the past for London, for both shows today Lily had her hair down all the way through, no more gathered/ponytail in masquerade and managers.
And since Eve’s wig seems to be down for masquerade as well, I think we can assume no one has an updo anymore.
