Wicked: Galinda Thank Goodness Outfit

Hello Fellow Ozians,


So today I'm going to talk about another G(a)linda costume her Thank Goodness outfit.

So this outfit consists of a jacket and a skirt with a bustle sewn into the waistband. I believe that the fabric that the jacket is made out of is a two-tones silver/green/gold taffeta material, with a floral, kinda paisley pattern on it.

Pic (Galinda's Wardrobe):

So the majority of the skirt and the Jacket are made out of this material.

Another Pic:

But as you can see in the pictures above, the jacket has a different fabric for the lining.But the back of the skirt as a light emerald green tulle bustle

Pic:

As you can see in the picture above, the bustle goes over top of the taffeta, and has sequins in it. Previously I've come across something called, "Fairy Tulle" which is basically tulle that has had, not exactly sequins but sparkles of a similar type connected or attached to the material, so no extra work would be needed to be done sewing on sequins. You can also see how the skirt has been gathered along the waistband.

I think this varies from production to production but sometimes the Bustle can extend past where the actual skirt ends,

See Pic:

Okay, back to the Jacket. 

Close up pictures:

So basically, the neckline of this costume is very interesting, as it is asymmetrical and cuts across from the right shoulder to the left of G(a)linda chest. There is only one sleeve and the arm which doesn't have a sleeve on it is covered by a bedazzled skin coloured glove (pic under paragraph).

So if you look really closely at the second picture in the 3 above, you can see the bottom of a false blouse, in a dark turquoise colour (I believe this is Taffeta, like the majority of the fabric which this outfit is made from). So this is the same material that is used on the inside of the cuff and the collar, but the cuff and the collar have been covered in tiny light green and yellow beads.

Pics:

So the jacket normally has 5 (occasionally 6) buttons on the front, 2 on the cuff and the are 2 buttons at the back.

Pics:

I also found a close-up pic of the actual buttons:

With this outfit, G(a)linda also wears this light straw hat:

There is a light yellow ribbon around the middle of the hat, and the is a silver rhinestoned jewel or button of some sort attached on top of the ribbon, with a white feather.

This hat is worn on the left side of her head.

So anyway that all from me for now, but I'll write another post on this outfit.

Ciao
