a big ramble about the cleves shorts in the reveal
just to preface this the old cleves design that had been standardised between jk and the uk had always had 2-3 chains each side which connected to the centre of the thigh around the outside, to the back.
(as modeled by jessica niles)
the reveal, between the productions has boleyn and seymour removing the front and back of the shorts respectively, howard removes the right of the top and parr the left, aragon pretends shes done something, in the reveal, seymour hands her part to howard and Boleyn hands hers also to howard, who runs to stage left and throws it into the wings, parr goes to stage right and throws part of clevesā top into the wings as well. It is held together by poppers (later shown by paisley billings) the zipper can open (also shown by paisley billings) im unsure wether or not theres are two tops, with a rippable zipper and one with a functional zipper but oh well. the reveal spilts near/on the zipper and paisley wore her jacket open at the zipper after the reveal.
To start off with JK, Iām going to use nasia thomas as my example because its so nicely standardised. (even if i hate standardisation)
As you can see in photo 1&2 every cleves wearing a JK costume has two pairs of shorts, one with no chains, because well, you cant split the chains front and back, so its just very plain shorts with two tab/handle things on the front, which are used for boleyn to grab and pull the shorts. when she returns on stage, she has the side chains that had been on the non-tearaway shorts. the seams are also visibly not there. overall makes sense and everyone has the same setup.
in the uk, the boleyn, rather thank grabbing the chains, puts she grips inside of the shorts by the mic holder and waistband and pulls it down and out.
now to the unstandarisation. for almost no reason at all.
Every alt except naomi alade and lorren santo-quinn have only 1 pair or shorts (based on the fact that in the megasix their shorts have a large seam) and every principal except dionne and alexia (pre hampton) have 2 pairs. Iām definitely one for non standardisationā¦ unless its differences in the same costume for no reason
anyways how the costume works and sidenotes about paisley
at the bottom of paisleys trousers, you can see a popper so we know its poppers, which elaborates the force needed to remove it and how its perfectly lined up every time.
her top its also open at the zipper despite it being closed and ripped open for the reveal however its not possible to tell if its a zipper that can be torn away or two separate jackets i would need more photos from the back to find the seam but until then, im leaning towards a tear away zipper and one jacket but you never knowš¤·āāļø
