           Hi Grace,

It's good to see another Chaney fan out there. ;) I've loved that costume for
years, and every time I watch the movie I want to make it. I might wear it for
Halloween if I get it done it time, but that is doubtful. I really want to
finish it by December 6 though. I've been working on "The Jewel Song" (Ah! Je
ris de me voir) from Faust for quiet a while, and near the end of the semester I
will be singing it for a recital here at school. So I would love to have the
dress to perform the song in. I'm looking for a different pattern now, but if I
can't find one I'll try to make the two I have work. I know one thing for sure,
I'm definitely doing a trial run of the dress with cheap fabric before I make
the real thing. I'll let you know when I know more. More pictures are being
added as we speak. :)

Just a little update. I just added several more pictures to my album
for this dress. The stills galleries on the ultimate edition DVD have
so many great pictures. I also posted on a general costume group on
Live Journal and already have a reply. Someone there suggested S4488
http://www.simplicity.com/assets/4488/4488.jpg or a similar pattern. I
will still probably use my McCall's pattern for the sleeves though. I
guess I'll be going pattern shopping soon. :)

Hi Heather,

   I already sent you a reply, but I just thought I'd try to clear up any
confusion there might be here. Thanks for the help. Simplicity 4479 is a
beautiful pattern, and I already have it in my stash. But it's not a pattern I
would consider using for this dress. It would be great for the "Think of me"
dress or the "Masquerade" dress from Andrew Lloyd Webber's 2004 movie, but I am
not making a 19th century dress. I am looking for a pattern to make Christine's
dress from the 1925 version of Phantom of the Opera. She wears this dress when
singing the part of Marguerite in the opera Faust (as well as in many of her
dressing room scenes and the final scene in the house on the lake). If anyone
knows of a good medieval pattern with a gathered skirt please let me know. I
would be very grateful. For now I'll keep looking.

   Sarah

   P.S. I'm posting some more shots from the DVD's still gallery in my folder.

I know this group hasn't been very active lately, so I thought I'd
try to wake it back up. Also, I know we mostly talk about costumes
from the 2004 Phantom of the Opera movie here, but there is one from
the 1925/1929 version (staring Lon Chaney and Mary Philbin) that I
absolutely fell in love with years ago. It's Christine's Marguerite
costume from Faust. Still being a bit new to sewing and costuming, I
thought I'd ask a few questions and see if I can get some answers
from the more experienced costumers here.

I've added some pictures of the dress to an album on this group
called "1925 Christine Marguerite." My main questions are about a
pattern I recently bought. I bought the pattern going from memory,
thinking that it was similar to the dress. When I got it home and
compared it with the movie (and actually sketched the gown in the
movie), I saw that they were quite different. The pattern is
McCall's 5444 (also show in my album here). I've posted what
pictures I have of the dress in the movie; unfortunately, I don't
have a good full view of the dress. I will try to post my sketch of
the dress when I get it scanned in though, and possibly some screen
caps if/when I do those.

OK, on with my questions. The basic differences in the dress and
patter are as follows: The dress has a natural waistline, while the
pattern has an empire style waistline. The dress has lacing in the
front and the pattern in the back. The pattern has a split two-layer
skirt, while the dress has a simple skirt with no split and visible
under-layer. So my main question would be, am I in over my head with
this project? Would converting the pattern be too difficult? I also
have the retired pattern Simplicity 9966 (also shown in my folder).
Would it give me a better pattern to go off of for the bodice and/or
the skirt? Should I use a mix of the two patterns taking the sleeves
from M5444 and the rest from S9966? Any suggestions would be
helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew of any Wisconsin Victorian or
costume events were going on in the near future?  I looked all over
the net but guess I'm going about the wrong way or something!  If
anyone has any information that would be great.  A friend of mine and
I want to get use out of our victorian costumes and to show them off.

Thanks!

This doesn't look exactly like the ring, for it is more oval than round,
but it still would make a nice and inexpensive ring.

If anyone plans to recreate Christine's pageboy costume, this shirt
would make a good shortcut for the vest.  Or, it could be a litte
everyday shirt, Christine-style!

Oic. Guess I can get away with using the similar drape as seen in
http://trulyvictorian.netfirms.com/catalog/290.html
rite?


> And the cloak is some sort of very light, irridescent fabric.
Maybe taffeta?

Ya, I was thinking of Taffeta but I think I might have a problem
affording an actual Silk Taffeta; not even sure if I can find it
here in Singapore as the ones I see are mostly 2-Tones; Silk or
Polyester. :-P

Any other fabric that could be used for it?

So maybe this cloak does take after the type of fabric used for the
Musical one which I see might had been a 2-Tone Silk Taffeta, except
for the absent of the Hood?

Thanks! ^__^

As for the back of the Wishing dress, I don't think we have any
pictures of it. These are the closest:
http://www.freewebs.com/kristinamy/christine_cemetary3.jpg
http://www.freewebs.com/kristinamy/christine_cemetary.jpg

It looks like the back is draped sort of like this pattern:
http://trulyvictorian.netfirms.com/catalog/290.html

I don't know if the back has a bustle because I haven't seen the
profile of the dress and the previous pictures were  from the ebay
sale, so supports might be removed. I think that this dress is, for
some reason, one piece. At least that's what it looks like. And the
cloak is some sort of very light, irridescent fabric. Maybe taffeta?

I haven't studied the Giry Masquerade costume but it's probably boned
and lined with a stiff lining.

Hiya! ^__^

Am new here and my name is Fatimah. A few months back, I suddenly
got attracted to some of the outfits seen in the Movie and Musical
Versions of The Phantom Of The Opera. :-P

For now, my eyes is upon Movie Christine's "Wishing You Were Somehow
Here Again" Gown and Musicial Madame Giry's Outfit (with the
Masquerade Cape).

For the Movie Christine's "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again"
Gown, can someone offer some hints on how the back of the Gown
looked like? I had been to a few Research Webpages on it but haven't
seen much info about its back or actual design. And how about the
Cloak; what type of Silk it had been used?

Has anyone successfully made it before?


As for the Musical Madame Giry's Outfit, has anyone done this outfit
before or seen the original in close up? Any infos on it?

I can see the Outfit being Princess Cut, the cutting of the collar
and how stiff the Blouse is but wonder what kind of material can be
used for it and whether it's stiffen with interfacing/bukram(sp?) or
boned. Any detail photo of it available online?

Thanks! ^__^

The small ones were from TJ Max, and the big one was from some store
in the mall of America. Thanks for the website- its really helpful!

Nice dress. I've always wanted to do that one. And I love your
Phantom room! Where did you find those candelobras?

Here is a great link for any of the stage costumes

   http://www.geocities.com/amintacostume/versions

   Also www.phantomess.com  has a great forum where the stage costumes are
disscussed.  Also if that is your costume in the new photos for this group,
great job on the movie aminta costume.

Hi everyone,

Yes it's been a looooooooong time and very quiet around here. Sorry  about
that, on my end. I was VERY sick for quite a few months, got better, was
dealing with making an audition CD, got sick again.

I haven't done any  sewing because of being sick either :( On the other hand,
if anyone wants to  hear me sing, e-mail me and I'll send an .mp3 of one of
my songs!

Hope everyone is doing well,
Sarah

Then there is also http://www.freewebs.com/kristinamy/ , which I
heartily recommend.

BTW those eggshell gloves are amazing. They really look exactly like
Christine´s :-)

HI all, it has been so quiet around here lately, how is everyone
doing???
Well I am great, I just bought these gloves on ebay that are perfect
for christine's masquerade gown.  They look almost identical to the
ones from the movie.  Now I need to make myself this dress :-)
