As Tiger Lilly's headdress is so elaborate I wanted to keep her costume fairly more simple so as not to compete. Also Tiger Lilly's Indian Braves must be visible on stage as part of her gang so her costume is similar to that of theirs. The main differences are that her gown is longer in the skirt and sleeves, she also has feather adornment around the neckline of her dress.
One of the seamstresses working on this production has some beautiful camel coloured suede which we are going to use across all the Indian Brave's costumes. There will be fringing on the sleeves, neckline and hem and two orange tiger lilies will be painted on the material.
The colour scheme used in the Indian Brave's costumes will be camel, blue, red, green, black and white. These are simple primary colours, inspired by the paints used by American Indians to decorate their horses and teepees. The costumes will be accessorised with beaded chokers.
