Christine's Wishing dress

Original

This is classic victorian dress. Perfectly suited to the XIX century. Maria Bjornson knowed what exactly young ladies worn in that epoch. Colores are amazing, generally my favorite color is blue so... I love that corset(?). Narrowing in waist optically slims silhouette. Beautiful sleeves. Love that costume. Unfortunatelly on these photos you can not see a back of this dress, but - as you know - is really big. As I said before, this outfit looks like real XIX lady's costume.

Coat is classic, creators had a amazing idea to give Christine red scarf.

Hungary non-replica

I think that this dress was inspired by original. It was good idea but this collar looks like napkin (sleeves also - and by the way they're too short), Skirt is nice. Colores could be a little more dark. Generally is really good. 

Coat is beautiful! Shame, that Christine haven't any scarf or something, but I really like it.

2004 movie

Designers had a really good idea to create Christine's dress in black color. It looks like Christine wore this outfit a sign of mourning (and probably exactly was like that). Sling on her head is nice, but - in my opinion - it could be not transparent.

Big black coat obscures Christine's outfit, so I can not say anything about her dress, because I can't see it. Sorry.

Really nice contrast between flowers and outfit.

Polish non-replica

As the rest of polish costumes, this outfit is failed. Once again, creators gave Christine a crinoline. God, why?! Dress is really poor, it haven't any ornaments except of this one cross on her chest. This color remind me a color of toilet paper. Unfortunately, this costume is bad.

Czech non-replica

Inspiration of Maria Bjornson's projects. Perfect. I really like this costume. It has AMAZING back. Love these valance. Color is beautiful, sleeves could be a little more long, but it's good. Interesting outfit. 

I think it will be the best non-replica.

Summing this all, I think that original dress and that outfit from Czech non replica, are the best.  Perfect suit to XIX century. Good job.

Christine's Aminta costumes

Original

A lot of POTO actress says that this costume is their favorite. I like it too. I think, that this outfit is perfect to Don Juan, because when Christine wear it, she looks like real spanish girl. In The Tours (and sometimes in Poland), Christine dancing a pasodoble on the table (in Poland, Christine danced with Phantom - on the floor of course!). I love these colors, these ornaments, skirt...

I really like when - how to we say in Poland - "she can breath" haha. She looks then really erotic. I love the boots to this costume.

Hungary non-replica

I don't know what I think about it. That costume is interesting. Generally is pretty, but I'm not so sure that it's suit to PONR. It doesn't looks like spanish or any XIX century outfit. I can see a many girls on the streets in similars dresses so...Maybe if would be a other colors...

2004 movie

As I said before, Emmy looks like Carmen. Beautiful corset. That skirt should be more wider, sleeves more longer. Shame, that this outfit hasn't more ornaments. It's nice, but not to his opera, not to this musical.

Polish non-replica

This costume had to be similar to movie dress, but...

Sleeves are nice, lack any ornaments, artificial waist. Frill on the skirt is really pretty. Rose is good idea.

Anyway, this outfit reminds me a Zorro costume.

As you probably you thinking, I prefer original costume. Outfit from Hungary is weird, from movie is nice but it is not to this musical, polish outfit is unsuccessful replica movie costume.

Les Miserables in Poland.

Edyta Krzemień as Fantine - really good interpretation.

Ewa Lachowicz as Eponine - good voice, weak character

Marcin Mroziński as Marius - good voice, good character, good voice, perfect interpretation, good voice

And look at scenography! 

Today, I want write something about all Christine's Slave Girl costume.

This costume is her first outfit in the show, and as we all know, the  first impression is more important, so let's get started...

Original

Original costume is absolutely my favorite. I love these colors, that corset etc. That's perfectly suited to the B.C eras. I most prefer these costumes in Hamburg (like on these pictures), because they have most intensive colors on the corsets and most beautiful ornaments. The least I like Slave Girl costumes in Australia. When I saw these costumes, I had the impression, that they're faded. 
Accessories in this costumes are perfect. I really like the fact, that on the all world are different tiaras, so everyone costume looks otherwise. I could be wrong, but on the West End, Slave Girls haven't bracelets. The most I like these on the Broadway. Generally, that outfit is to hard to assess by me, because it is the first Slave Girl costume in POTO, and as we all know, Maria Bjornson did real works of art, so I think that, we can just compare a rest of Slave Girl costume to her works.

Hungary non-replica

When I saw this costume for the first time, I thought that this could be a tribal costume. Really. I know, that I was wrong, but girls look like shamans haha. Anyway, this outfit is nice, especially "corset" (that skirt could be worn by Pocahontas). I like these ornaments. 

Generally is good.

2004 movie

I don't like it. It's not of course my negative bias to the movie, but I really don't like movie Slave Girl costume. Generally is good, I mean, this costume fit to the Hannibal opera and  that epoch, but is...ugly. Bra (it is bra?) is awful. Colors are bland. Skirt looks like it was made of paper or stiff veil. This ring at the neck could be worn by Cleopatra.This outfit recalls me a roman costumes. You know, roman slave girl. Good idea, bad execution. The only things that i LOVE in these costumes, there are accessories. Meg has nice shackles, shame that there haven't any gems. Christine had beautiful roman hairdo. Nice hair bands and retty earrings.

Polish non-replica

Describing hungarian costume, I told that it recalls Pocahontas outfit. Well, now I can clearly say, that this costume is much more for indian girl...or...persian? Anyway, this is I think the only costume who doesn't recalls outfit from 2004 movie. 

That "skirt" is okay, but I really don't like bra. Awful colors.

Summing all of this, I can tell, that original costume is the best.  The rest...no comment. I'm really curious how will be look czech Slave Girl. I hope, that czech designers make a really good costume. For now, we have only project of this outfit, but I think it's very nice, so we must just wait...
