Now that we got a silver alt Boleyn skirt, it’s time to manifest for a silver alt Seymour skirt 🕯️🕯️

You’ve probably gotten a few asks about this (if so PLEASE disregard haha), but my eyes aren’t deceiving me, right? That’s def Nat and Meg’s dressing room with a full Silver Cleves costume, right? I’m guessing it’s either Esme’s (worn 19 times) or Harriet’s (worn 8 times) old one but re-altered based on the fact the fact the three alternates are also getting re-altered costumes as well. Hoping there’s a pair of peplum-clad trousers in there as well, but hey I’ll be happy with whatever we get haha

You’re correct!! They’re Harriet’s, she has a different mesh than Esme. I posted more about that here and the chance that it may or may not be for Meg.

If they are altering costume pieces for Meg, I will note that it’s less likely we see Parr pants/peplum. The pants are relatively easy to alter, but peplums are more limited. It might be possible that she gets altered pants/other variations and a new peplum, though.

What are those silver swing alt variations doing in Meg’s and Natalie’s room? 👀👀

Yes, well spotted, and you get brownie points for being the first one to send an ask haha.

It could be that... 1. Harriet Caplan-Dean is back on standby, or at the very least her costumes are in the theater in case of that. The main variation top is hanging up there; Natalie was already in costume, and Meg was on for Howard, so there's a possibility that Meg would have already been in costume which would mean that has to be someone else’s costume. By elimination it would have to be Harriet as she is the only one with those shorts pattern (other than Shakira’s, which are obviously in use). I’m not sure how possible this explanation is, as I know she’s been working on a different project and don’t know if she’s able to be on standby for Six as well. 2. Or yes, they could be Meg's. @lightleckrereins and I have been wondering for a while if Meg will get either additional new variations added or existing variations altered for her in this second wave of costume changes (primarily the alt costume alterations for the alts, but a few other costumes have had significant alterations in these last few weeks as well). It’s hard to know exactly what’s happening with Meg’s, but it does seem like a possibility either way.

Have you got any pictures of the ‘new’ish sliver superswings boots?

Hey! They’ve had two boot designs that have cycled in/out at weird times, so I’m not totally sure which you mean. This is a video of the current design, though.

If you mean the other, feel free to send another ask and I’ll share photos of those :)

2023-25 West End Alt Costumes

Hey y'all! I've already talked about the new alt costumes a few times in different places, but felt like it would be easiest to make one big post about this. If you haven't already, I'd suggest reading this post from the day the cast was announced breaking down potential color assignments for each.

Color assignments

First off, a few costumes we can reasonably assume: - A silver swing costume has been in progress. This should be Meg Dixon-Brasil's. - Naomi Alade has glitter eyeshadows in green, red, and orange as well as her palettes in those shades, so we can assume she has orange. - We've also seen teal pants hanging up in the alts' dressing room. They seem to be the same design as Monique Ashe-Palmer and Ellie Jane Grant have. By elimination, these should be Gabriella Stylianou's; they're also up on the rack by her Aragon and Seymour costumes.

The two big questions (aka, what is going on with pink alt) - First of all, we saw the top for a pink alt hanging in the dressing room. This was similar to Natalie Pilkington's, but not identical. When seeing that @lightleckrereins and I initially determined it could be either an altered version of Natalie's, or a costume for for Hannah Lowther. That still seems to hold true. - Hannah Lowther also posted her makeup. It includes two pink glitters (a hot pink and light, everyone else has just gotten one for each so shouldn't be two Howard), two pink lipsticks, and two pink palettes. One of those lipsticks is the go-to assigned Howard lipstick while the other is their go-to assigned pink alt lipstick. One of the pink palettes lines up more with pink alt than Howard. She also didn't have any lipsticks that I'd expect for teal/black, or any nudes/silver makeup that would work for black; the Parr palette could possibly be used for teal but doesn't quite work and seems less likely. - Natalie....also seems to have pink alt?? She posted a photo of herself in what is definitely pink alt makeup from this week. It's definitely new/current; it shows her and Meg in their new dressing room.

I feel like it's likely that they're both in pink alt, but of course this is Six so we'll have to wait on promo photos to know for sure.

Changed or new variations I've also gotten some asks about the possibility of changed variations. We already know teal will have pants, so we can rule that out. It seems like Naomi will be wearing orange for A/S/H/P, which is roughly what it's been used for with pants, so it seems very unlikely to see anything there. Meg Dixon-Brasil should have the same silver alt as Shakira Simpson, with an open skirt, full Cleves, and Parr (I've talked about why I think Esme's Boleyn skirt was a one-off here). That brings us to, again, the pink alt question. Some Hannah Lowther seems to have pink alt, she'd be wearing it for A/B/S/C, which the open skirt isn't a perfect fit for but is still easier/more obvious than a new variation. As swing, Natalie Pilkington throws a little more into question if she is in fact in pink. However, she should still be able to wear her Seymour and Parr principal costumes, so I'd expect her to continue to wear those and then pink for A/B/C/H. That's exactly how pink alt has been used in the past, so I don't think it's likely that that would change or necessitate a new variation. My only question (again, assuming they're both pink alt) would be if Hannah or Natalie get a change purely so they're not in exact duplicates, just like Natalie got for her black alt during the 21-22 UK Tour when her and Cassy Lee had duplicates. However, the chances of the West End getting to a double pink alt show where they really can't move things around and have to send them both on in pink alt is a lot less likely, particularly considering that they (presumably) both have two principal costumes as well. So...still considering this highly unlikely (but hey a girl can dream)

Other questions/notes - What the hell is going on with potential double pink - Assuming double pink, is black alt is being phased out entirely. This could just be a scenario where it's more logistically convenient for Natalie to seemingly keep S/P/pink, but in another scenario maybe they'd have black alt again. Or it might just be being phased out entirely - it's more simple than most of the other designs and doesn't quite fit into the design continuum. I have no good answer for this, so we'll just have to see (although my black-alt-cosplaying self would love to see it return eventually) - If Natalie Pilkington will still wear her Seymour/Parr (with black or pink). I think this feels like an obvious yes, but we'll see. - I realize I didn't post the full makeup breakdown for all of them. I'll do that in the next few weeks.
