That dress seems to me to smack of Little House on the Prairie. In my own >mind, Heidi wears dirndls--maybe my childhood Heidi book dressed Heidi >that way? Perhaps the designer feared making it look like Busch Gardens...y'know that European folk dress nether-world look. So instead the designer opted for the general 19th century child nether-world of "Little House". Of course both these nether-worlds derive from actual clothing. Naturally, for me, the challenge is to make things look REAL, without alienating or confusing young viewers expectations... too much. But using startling choices that are correct is a great thing. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
