In-Class Costuming

I would dress Ti Moune in much more colors than the rest of the peasants. Mama, Tonton, and the rest would be in brown and tans, and Ti Moune in something with much more color. Maybe she would be in blue, because Agwe is her Loa. However, I really don't want to attach her to one god, so I'd probably actually put her in something completely different from the gods. Possibly purple? I know we did that in Once on This Island, but I really liked it. She would also wear a pendant around her neck that Agwe also has, possibly he wears it as a ring. Ti Moune's hair is always down, unlike the rest of the peasants, who put it up because they are working. Her face is cleaner than most, and her skirt is much shorter. She wears less layers. I would have the dress be too small for her, because she is growing more than the rest and I want to show that. It's low cut, not so low that it's on purpose, but intentionally making her appear older. In contrast, the peasants would be in long, dirty, tan skirts. No peasant would be in colors other than brown. The men and women would wear bandanas around their heads, to keep the sweat out of their eyes. Ti Moune doesn't, she doesn't work like they do. Every peasant would have dirt on their faces, except for Ti Moune.
