Design Costumes for a Play


The scene I picked out of Cinderella was her wedding day. Whenever Eugreene goes to Cinderella and her stepsister’s house to find out who fits the glass slipper. Cinderella’s step sisters each try on the glass slipper but their feet were either too big or too small for the slipper. Eugreene asks’ “You are the only ladies of this household I hope, err I presume” and the step mom answers “there are no one else”. During this conversation Cinderella interrupts and asks Eugreene if she could try on the glass slipper.

The step mom and the step sisters told Eugreene to ignore Cinderella, telling him that she is nobody. As soon as Eugreene set eyes on Cinderella, he was sure that he found the owner of the glass slipper. He also told that he was ordered to, by the prince to have every girl try on the glass slipper. Eugreene calls in his assistant to bring in the glass slipper. As his assistant excitedly brings in the glass slipper, Cinderella’s step mom trips the assistant out of jealously as he was running over to Cinderella, Eugreene assistant trips over the step mom’s cane and the shoe flies through the air and the glass slipper lands on the floor and shatters.

Eugreene runs over to the broken glass slipper and starts to cry because that was the only slipper they had to help find the prince’s princess. The step mom looks over at eugreene and smirks at what she did; thinking that she ruined Cinderella’s chance of trying on the slipper, but, little did she know Cinderella still had kept the other glass slipper. The step mom and sisters look at Cinderella in shock because they couldn’t believe that Cinderella was the mystery princess. Eugreene grabs the second glass slipper and puts the shoe onto Cinderella’s foot and the glass slipper fits perfectly. After the glass slipper fits. The prince and princess go and get married.


For the costumes of this scene I really wanted to try to go modern but yet keep it classic. In the beginning of the scene when Eugreene arrives at Cinderella’s house I have Cinderella’s costume in scrubs with a white apron, brown dirty dress. For the glass slipper that Cinderella tries on the glass shoe and the heel of the slipper has a gold bow on top of the heel of the shoe.

At the prince and Cinderella’s wedding, I kept the Princes’ wedding outfit classic. The prince is wearing brown slacks with a white soldier jacket. Over the white jacket there is a gold satchel. Underneath the satchel there is a thin brown waist belt to match his shoulder pad on his jacket and also to match his pants. For the prince’s father I also kept his costume classic. The father’s costume is similar to his son’s costume, but, instead the father’s pants are red and the jacket is knee length. To show royalty there are gold ropes around the collar and a red satchel also gold trim throughout the costume.

For Cinderella I wanted her costume to be modern with a puffy white strapless dress with diamonds studs. In the play she has sleeves, instead of having sleeves I have Cinderella wearing white elbow length gloves. For her shoes, they are white satin shoes with diamonds on the tip of the shoe. Also in the movie she wore a veil. I think if Cinderella is turning into a princess that she should wear a tiara. So for her veil I decided to have a diamond crown with a white veil flowing down behind her. For Cinderella’s make up I wanted to do a shadowing silvery blue look to match her dress. The prince and the father I didn’t use make-up on the

The priest that marries Cinderella and The prince he is wearing a white hat with gold veins and roses coming out the middle of the hat. To match his hat his outfit is white with silver stripes on the edge of his sleeves. On the middle of his gown he has red floral on the front. The horses that are pulling the carriage have big white feathers on top of the heads as hats to match the prince and the Cinderella’s dress.
