Overview

Even though the costume is based on a historically accurate design, the colour palette is exclusively monochromatic with red accents. 

The fabric did not have to be historically accurate so I chose o use some black and white upholstery that depicts a man being rejected by a woman in a garden. I decided to use a pattern that included a front opening that did not go all the way down. Like that, when opened, it appears as if the lovers were being ripped apart which is emphasised by the red lacing.
