They used a bunch of different materials and fabrics for it.

Posted: 3/8/05 at 10:39pmThere are actually two dresses. I don't know if they use both but there are two different black dresses shown in the souvenir program. One looks like shredded black lace and the other has lots of ruffles. I think the one we see more is the shredded lace but they're both gorgeous.

Posted: 3/8/05 at 11:08pmI agree they are both beautiful. I love how, from the distance and first glance you just think that its a black dress but upon closer inspection you see all the fine detail work and different fabrics that went into making it. So beautiful.

Posted: 3/8/05 at 11:13pmThe ruffled dress broadwaybetty is talking about is the original dress used in the SF tryout-it was changed for the broadway run into the dress that you all are describing now. Just an FYI :)

Posted: 3/8/05 at 11:14pmOh that explains it. :-P I thought they looked really different when I looked at pics from SF then from Broadway.

Posted: 3/8/05 at 11:20pmYep, and if you look at the original "confrontation" photo (in front of the fallen house with the yellow brick road)-the bottom half of the old dress is similar to the new dresses entire composition. :)
