#1Bailey Hanks, new Legally Blonde Costumes?
Posted: 9/8/08 at 7:00pmI noticed that some of Bailey's costumes in Legally Blonde are different than Laura Bell's, did they change all of the costumes or just some of Elle's? I know this is a really small question but I noticed it and I began to wonder. Thanks!

Posted: 9/8/08 at 7:03pmwell... she is a little BIGGER than Elle. So. You know. You'd figure they want her to fit in the costumes...

Which costumes are you referring too? I didn't notice anything different either time I saw her.
The two Omigod... dresses are exactly the same, as is the What You Want costumes (the sweatsuit and the band outfit). She wears the same outfit in Positive that LBB did. The denim jacket and pink skirt she wears for the last few scenes of act 1 is also the same. In act 2, the blue suit with the pinstripes is also the same, as is the pink she dress she "changes" into in Paulette's closet. Curtain call dress is identical.
She does, as was pointed out, fill out the costume much more than LBB did.

Posted: 9/8/08 at 7:22pmTDH I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not but Bailey is actually very tiny. But they costumes probably didn't look good or wasn't comfortable

The different costumes:
"What you Want" sweatsuit (lighter and short-sleeved)
"Positive" pants (pink instead of blue jeans)
"So Much Better" skirt (dark pink and purple, instead of dark and light pink)

Posted: 9/8/08 at 9:18pmThe positive pants have always been pink, they were kind of a purple with pink. I think.

actually, I was not referring to her boobs.
she always seemed a bit heavier... a bit chunkier... than Laura.

Posted: 9/8/08 at 10:33pmWhat most likely happened is that a few garments got switched out for cheaper ones.

"The positive pants have always been pink, they were kind of a purple with pink. I think."
They're blue jeans. I just went to the website and checked the photos.

Bailey's Positive pants are an almost hot pink. LBB's were a purple-ish blue with pink in them.

Can some one please provide some type of picture of Bailey in her "re-designed" costumes....
im having a VERY hard time believing that they changed her end of act 1 costume to a totally different color pallet..(the pink and purple)

Posted: 9/9/08 at 1:44amYou're all wrong. Bailey wanted to show her biceps, and was really pissed that one of the Delta Nu girls wore a sleeveless top in one number and all eyes went to the nameless ensemble member instead of her.

(coincidently the Bailey pic is from the front page of today's Variety- sorry, I'm too lazy to do a resizing and make her the same size as LBB)

Posted: 9/9/08 at 10:57amAs of Sunday, she has a new ass-ugly pink newsboy cap for Positive that looks like it was purchased from Build-A-Bear workshop.

Posted: 9/9/08 at 1:53pmThis may be the ultimate level of nitpicky, but she also wears a different top in "Chip on Your Shoulder." It's a pink short-sleeved shirt now instead of a tank top, IIRC.

Posted: 9/9/08 at 3:12pmI would almost venture to guess the pink & purple skirt at least was a previous incarnation and was rejected originally because yes, that color combination does seem to be a bit jarring. Believe it or not, sometimes rejects from previews, etc, will sometimes get saved for replacements, understudies, etc. I believe Annie Funke, the current Tracy standby, is wearing an older version of the You Can't Stop the Beat dress that was also discarded either in previews or early in the show's run.
