1930s Woman's Costume

I designed and made this costume for the character Belvidera in my adaptation of Thomas Otway’s 17th Century play, Venice Preserv’d, which I set in 1930s Belfast. Venice Preserv’d is a tale about people who are oppressed and alienated by powerful forces and are looking for ways to free themselves.
​
My design for Belvidera’s costume fabric was inspired by the scaffolding that was used in the Belfast docks when building the ships at the Harland and Wolff shipyard.
