Costumes of Desiree

For most of the peasants, I would dress them in dark brown, dark green or grey. Their hair would be a mess, and their shoes are covered by dirt. However, Desiree is in a pure black dress, which could be blowed by the wind easily and becomes the shape of a blossomed flower. This dress indicates her splendid imagination of the outside world. When she thinks of the cars, the plants and the novelty she has never met, she would dance slightly, and the dress would flow with her movements. Her hair is well pleated in a queue, not perfect but clean and tidy. I would make Desiree picking up flowers and inserting them between her hair, showing her pursue of beauty and prudence on her outlook.  She wears a pair of old white shoes, almost turning yellow because of times’ washing. However, the shoes are in fact really clean. Although has no ability to dress up like rich people, she would try her best to be well-dressed. All her appearance implies her long for the nice substances and the rich. She does not want to be an ordinary peasant like other villagers but tries to get closer to the beauty and the rich by keeping her clothes clean and tidy.

I would not show her connection with Gods but depicting her as an ambitious girl who wants to control and manipulate her own life.
