The Fashion List

(enter Romeo and Juliet)

She looks for himHe looks for her

SeparatedThey’re sold

But they have not yet been enjoyedHe smiles at nothingShe laughs at nothing

He’s drowningShe’s drowningSay it ain’t so

Description: gold ruff at the neck, puffed shoulders, and gold ruffs at the sleeves. Gold lining throughout the bodice with a modest scoop neck. Skirt puffs out just a little.

This is what the bridesmaids would wear to Romeo and Juliet’s wedding. It is very appropriate for this wedding, not exactly disregarding the importance of the bridesmaid’s presence, but not taking away from the bride’s beauty.

Description: small roses on the skirt with a fitted bodice. Crème- colored. Skirt trails to the floor with a slight puff. This is the Maid of Honor dress.

Girl Outfit: Maid of Honor

I picked this dress because I think the Maid of Honor should have a better than the Bridesmaids and the other people—not including the bride of course.

Girl Outfit: General

Attire

Description: the kirtle is red, and the gown is a velvet navy blue with a gold embroidered design. This is the best of what the general people would wear. They would want to wear the best of what they had.

Description: This dress has a black kirtle with a red overskirt and long sleeves. The sleeves are also detailed with vines, I think.

Boy Outfit: Groomsmen

Description: the doublet is fitted and the sleeves and neck have white cuffs. The hat has a feather in it and is black. The boots are knee-length and have black leggings under them.

Boy Outfit: Best Man

Description: ruff at the neck, and knee high white socks. Also had a jeweled doublet with voluminous sleeves. The shoes are square-shaped and leather. There are also gloves in this picture. This is how nobles dressed back in the day.

(the bride, Juliet, smiles at the love of her life,

Romeo)She is holding flowers,

He is waiting.She is nervous,

His eyes look into hers.She is drowning.He is drowning.

Juliet’s gown

Description: in this outfit, Juliet wears a hooped skirt with flared sleeves. Her kirtle is embroidered with creatures that were hunted in those days. There is a white ruff, too. Her overskirt is navy blue and also embroidered. To create such a tiny waist, Juliet must wear a corset. The drawing is a variation of this style.

Romeo’s Outfit

Description: Romeo will be wearing a silver fitted vest with a red blouse with laces at the neck and the sleeves. His shorts are also red.

(exit Romeo and Juliet)She turns around,

Throws her flowersOver her left shoulder

He kisses her cheekShe blushes

He squeezes her handIntertwining together

She drownsHe suffocates

They laughHe smilesShe grins-Akeylah wellington, “revision of a wedding”
