A pan of Sarah's room at the start of the film shows that she has a number of children's books on her shelves, including The Wizard Of Oz, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and Maurice Sendak's Outside Over There. The reading material shown in Sarah's room indicates that she has a love of fairy-tales and fantasy, a trait that is also suggested by the fact she is first seen rehearsing a play in pseudo-medieval costume. The lace is a very soft grey with silver. 🙂 Things that look white on screen or onstage are rarely white. Under all those super bright lights that eliminate shadows, white glows. So usually a grey or a blue are used so that, when the color gets washed out, the garment looks regular white instead of glowing. When I did Les Mis, I used white on the final ensembles Fantine and Eponine wore at the very end to make them appear as if they were glowing, and when I did The Pajama Game, I learned first-hand that a lovely soft blue dress will look like a white wedding gown on stage and result in having to replace a costume two days before opening. 🙂

Yes, that’s time-consuming, and yes, the margin of error is high, and yes, this requires top-notch hand-sewing skills to be able to sew invisibly, and yes, this requires being extremely flexible and being willing to work with unexpected behaviors in lace. This is why it’s a couture method and so often skipped in favor of visible seams and calling it part of the design. There’s nothing wrong with visible seams when they’re genuinely desired (and sometimes they are, especially for bodices we want to have the visual appeal of a corset), but for when a magical fit with lace is desired, enter lace-shaping!

Labyrinth started as a collaboration between director Jim Henson and conceptual designer Brian Froud following their previous collaboration, The Dark Crystal (1982). [8] In making Labyrinth, Henson wanted to create a film that combined elements of fairy tales and classical stories in a script that would appeal to a modern audience. [9] [10] According to Froud, he and Henson decided to have human characters as the lead roles to make Labyrinth "more accessible and immediate" than The Dark Crystal, which had featured only puppets. [8] Henson explained that they structured Labyrinth "in a way that the human is really carrying the whole picture" and acts as a "bridge" between the fantastical puppets and the audience. [11] The protagonist of Labyrinth was, at different stages of its development, going to be a boy, [12] a king whose baby had been put under an enchantment, a princess from a fantasy world, and a young girl from Victorian England. [5] According to Henson, the decision to have the lead character be a girl was made "because so many adventure films feature boys. We just wanted to even the balance." [13] To make the film more commercial, they made Sarah a teenager from contemporary 1980s America. [5] Henson stated: Prokop, Rachael (25 January 2012). "Literally the Best Thing Ever: Labyrinth".

What a great article. Thank you! I thought the dress had been lost, I didn’t realise it was still around. Labyrinth is my favourite film, I saw it in the cinema when it was released and I’ve seen it countless times since, and still discover new things in it all the time.
