gatsby* costume designs part one :D

*my school’s production of the great gatsby

starting off with jordan and mildred (aka the first designs i drew) :D

mildred’s an extra character we made for the purposes of having more roles— she’s a tennis player, a day-drinker, kinda sucks, and she dislikes nick vehemently (i get slapped by her at one point— and while we’re not Pleased that jordan had to be split into, the cast loves mildred and cherishes her greatly :) plus she was fun to design for

(also i’d like to caveat that most of the designs will have styles for longer hair, because non of our main “female” cast has short hair)

Do you recognize this melody?

Yes, that's it! The melody of “Happy Birthday to You” comes from the song “Good Morning to All” which was written and composed by Patty Hill and Mildred J. Hill. They published the tune in 1893 in their songbook Song Stories for the Kindergarten. It was intended to be used as a greeting song for teachers to sing to their students as they entered the classroom each day.
