"Stay where you are, leave it to Ma, just a pretender to mend."

Costume design for Ma Riley's costume in Act 2 of The Clockmaker's Daughter by Webborn & Finn and designed for Wendi Peters based on the concert performance at the Cadogan Hall in 2019

The darkest costume of the show as we move into Act 2 where Ma's actions become iredeemable (iykyk). Continuing with the triangular and sharp shapes for her. This is her most rigid outfit of the show as she remains set in her ways and prioritises herself and her views over the good of the town and her own son.

"All of your dreams! I can put a price on them, at The Modest Modiste!"

Costume design for Ma Riley's Act 1 costume in @theclockmakersdaughter by @webbornandfinn and designed for @wendi.peters based on the concert performance at the Cadogan Hall in 2019

In contrast to the rest of the cast, Ma's wardrobe begins in a lighter colour scheme so that it can darken as her character progresses through the show in order to show her 'fall from grace' as the town's seamstress, as it were. Her colour scheme consists of purples in order to oppose Constance's colour scheme, and her style and silhouette adhere much more rigidly to the historical fashions of 1895.

Happy 2 year anniversary to The Clockmaker’s Daughter at Cadagon Hall!

This concert was my favorite thing for a loooong time, i’m so glad that it was recorded an uploaded online

i should probably watch it again, it’s been too long

all pictures are screenshots and promo pics from that concert, that i redrew! (first one is with a blue tint, second is without it)

[you-are-constance]

so now i’m watching Into the Woods on Broadway HD, the one with Hannah Waddingham as the Witch and Judi Dench as the voice of the Giantess

and i’m just like, freaking Ma Riley and Lady Catherine De Bourgh
