which is why the costume doesn't fit the theme: it was something they had backstage and just threw on Christine. I didn't follow the instructions for connecting the bodice to the skirt, I just sewed the two together. Compare Christine's costumes in the musical and the 2004 movie, and decide which outfits are better. Her costume is a hybrid of a Robe de Cour (stiff and grand court dress) and a Robe a la Francaise (softer dress, still used by the nobility and still very posh, but differently constructed). In the movie, "Notes" gets split so that it occurs right after "Masquerade" and follows "Wandering Child.

When Christine goes from playing Serafimo to playing The Countess, replacing Carlotta in the lead role, she is dressed up in a grand costume.

As lovely as the film costume is—and it really is very beautiful—it's out of place in terms of the context. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Christine only wears the blue dress twice during Phantom of the Opera: when she meets with the manager of the opera house and when she visits her father's grave. She also had to add the lace to her dress and I know that was pretty frustrating but I believe it really sells the dress. Over the years, Christine Daae's dressing costumes have been subject to many interpretations, giving you freedom of expression to create your cosplay.

The stage productions' "Masquerade" is an actual Masquerade as opposed to the movie which is more of a grand ball than anything; the movie scene destroyed the essence any Masquerade should have; think about Halloween and the atmosphere that creates when people dress up and head out for trick-or-treating and other events. The simplicity of the film costume helps convey the intimacy of the scene, as well as Christine's emotional fragility. The movie doesn't have the limitations of real-time and a live audience, so its version is completely different. Slaves could be the most beloved girlfriend, the family’s accountant, the head masters of schools, the best chef in town, the most sought after doctor, the superstar gladiator. Its length varies from the middle of the leg to the floor, and the hem and neckline are decorated with lace.

Don't miss Ali Ewoldt's spectacular Christine Daae in 'The Phantom of the Opera' at Broadway's Majestic Theatre. During "Wishing" and "Wandering Child," Christine wears a black dress with a plunging neckline with lace details. Here you can choose one of the costumes in the catalogs or offer your version of the dress by sending a few examples.
