Red symbolises love, romance and passion. Estella lures men and tricks them into falling in love with her so I have chose to make a red dress for her to wear.
I bought a cheap red dress so that I could make it look Victorian. I also bought satin red fabric, lace and a small lace trim as I couldn't find the white cord I wanted. I spent the whole weekend working on this as I wanted to portray Estella's wealthy lifestyle and the clothes I think she would have worn.
I am really pleased with how the dress has turned out, the satin on the front and lace adds a sense of wealthiness to it. Although this is an informal assessment, I want my photographs to portray Estella as a character rather than showing just my makeup and hair design, which is why I have gone to the effort of making a costume and accessories.
