The listing, Purple Dracula's Wife Vampire Costume has ended.
This costume was made for a New York Theatrical production of Dracula for the 2001-2002 season. This was worn by one of Dracula's vampire wives in the dungeon scene.
This costume,in 2 parts, would correspond to about an American size 12-14, is made from drapery weight purple moire taffeta which has been overlaid with sheer black ripple netting. The netting has been carried through to bat-wing sleeves that drape well below hip length. The dress has an empire waist, a scoop neck which is adjustable with a ribbon tie and elastic finger stays for the sleeves.
It comes with a purple bust length vest made of the same purple moire taffeta (this type does NOT swish) and is trimmed in metallic silver braid with a solid black Chinese frog closure. The vest is meant to fit tight to accentuate the bustline.
The skirt is unhemmed but the taffeta is serged so it is ready to hem, due to the actress being tall.
Again, this is a theatrical quality costume so it will be heavier and warmer than the average costume. Please bear this in mind when you bid.Like other costumes I have listed,I am charging shipping (Flat Rate Box) because these are heavy. But you are not getting junk-these are costumes that are much higher quality and can actually be worn many, many times. This is not cheaply made. Retail Value-$400
DUE TO CONTRACTUAL CONSTRAINTS, I AM NOT ALLOWED TO REVEAL THE ACTOR'S NAME THAT WORE THIS COSTUME BUT SHE IS WELL KNOWN AND WORE THIS BEFORE SHE BECAME AS FAMOUS AS SHE IS NOW.
I LEAVE YOU TO WONDER WHO SHE IS BUT I CAN SAY IT WAS WORN IN NEW YORK CITY, OFF BROADWAY, BY A TOURING THEATRE COMPANY IN 2001-2002 FOR THE DRACULA-SEASON OF BLOOD TOUR.
