Crushed organza gives me the random wrinkles I want. Crushed taffeta in poly has great 3d, with random 'rivers', but is too stiff for my comfort, can't find crushed silk taffeta. Crushed silk chiffon or poly chiffon has very nice drape and flow, but has a laid pattern that I can see. I think there's one that doesn't have such a laid pattern. At Nousha's. I don't want the pattern in the 'hero' close in the dream, to be a laid but a random pattern, before going out of focus. My thoughts are it'll lend more drama if it's random.
One could say that the discomfort that the dark brown poly brings may be of dramatic use. This is for the nightmare sequence. I'll stew on that. Jevyn and I found it at Mood on 38th, but I found a cheaper dude on 35th that has the same fabric yesterday. Didn't buy it straight away though. I want to head over to the bureau to work on the wrap first. Take some pictures and send them over to Jevyn. Going to test an Indian wrap called a Chaadra. Used for ceremonial purposes, I can mix it with a little venus de milo drape.
Getting a lot of info and inspiration from a lord of the rings costume forum. Details about things like the fabric of Liv Tyler's gown in the dream sequence are helpful. It's a good thing to be able to analyze the work of the pros. Picked up some crushed poly organza at the fabric store on Bway to test.
No, Chaadra didn't work. But this is okay for a draft.
