Creating Costumes!

    Helloo! I'm just going to get straight to the point of this blog because I basically did nothing today, it was so boring. So, today I will discuss how we will make our costumes for our two-minute film opening.

    For the outfits, every girl will be wearing black dresses, this includes Olivia and Lily. For the outfits for them, we both already have black dresses that we already discussed wearing, but I want there to be some kind of subtle things for symbolism. 

    One thing I was thinking of adding was bags, but handheld instead of with a strap, which could symbolize the subtle and unrecognizable control that the government has on the people and how they unknowingly comply without a second thought. I have already started making these by crocheting them, although I'm still doing trial and error to find a good pattern for them. I have been crocheting for years now and I like to believe I'm quite good at it so this task should turn out to be no problem for me. I only have a few colors of yarn right now, but if we do add more characters, I want the bags to also symbolize rank with the different colors of them. Something I added to the backs was also a mesh kind of design to show how the government must know everything. 

    This is all I have done for one of the bags, but I have also frogged this many times, meaning I have unwraveled the stitches and completely started over. I actually find crocheting quite relaxing, so I have enjoyed doing this for the project, and I can use them after we finish the project! I will probably add straps to them after, though, because I honestly don't like handheld bags. I like the color white for the bags because it adds a pop of color while keeping the conformity and neatness. I might try to make these bags in black as well but I just don't have black yarn at the moment.

    I haven't started on anything else for the costume creation process because there are some things we will just buy from the store, so this is a pretty short blog, but I will definitely keep updating when I start on more things! 

    

    Thank you for reading, and have a great day!
