What makes a Cinderella? It's the dress! Duh!

One of my favorite costumes is the gown that Drew Barrymore wore to the masked ball in Ever After (the one they call "Breathe"). The craftsmanship is exquisite and flawless; Jenny Beavan did an excellent job on the detail of the sleeves and the bodice. The bodice is beaded with tiny pearls and seed beads, made of an antique gold lace and white muslin, and the teardrops on the bodice are actually seed beads and not rhinestones as everyone seems to believe. The sleeves are made of crinkled organza to give it the puff, beading with white iridescent rocaille beads, faceded silver beads, and a white mesh (the gold flowers are actually appliqued to it) and the pearl cuffs are border lined with a lace which may be the same lace used on the bodice. The underskirt is made of silk satin and is in a bias cut and hemmed with five rows of french knots. So much detail and time was put into this dress and the results were totally worth it to see it on the big screen.
