Rapunzel is shy but as she grows older she stands up more to the witch that locked her in the tower. For her costume i think she should have long blonde hair made by string or a synthetic hair wig. My original idea was to have her in a beautiful dress in possible royal colours like purple. Purple is also the contrasting colour of blonde so will fit in with the colour spectrum. This was the traditional costume colour from rapunzel. However, i wanted to wade away from tradition and make it our own. I looked for inspiration on the internet and only found 1 costume interpretation which was in green. The green dress was a flowing fit and had a green lighter tee shirt underneath which was an off the shoulder shirt. It would also be long sleeved. Over this would be an emerald green dress similar to the ones in Medea but of a different material i suggested cotton or polyester.
But i thought a rapunzel wig instead of string however more expensive will be much more effective.
Her make up would be beautiful and natural but slightly over the top.
Even though her witch mother was rich and made sure her daughter was kept beautiful also there was resent between their relationships and i felt that rupunzel could express this through her slightly rebelious style.
I looked online for synthetic hair wigs as i felt this would look for relatistic and would look so much more effective than string. As i knew this was a more expensive route to go down i decided to do some research on the wigs and found 3 wigs.
This wig is a more paler blonde that i wanted and come plaited this is the cheapest wig i found at £13. But would fit the costume well.
This wig isnt styled so could then be cut later on if blonde wigs are needed in future productions. It is a long golden blonde wig but would have to be styled into plaits but this means it can be something she does on stage as a movement this can add to the production and means she can have different styles in different scenes whether thats a down hair style or in a side plait. This wig is £16.50. This wig is ankle length.
This wig is quite a luxury wig and is designed with extra small plaiting intwining in her main plait topped off with red ribbon. However this comes at a price of £19
