As you could see here, Lavinia was definitely stuck in another time, Chenoweth said.
We ultimately picked a blue velvet dress, but I just thought [this] was so good.
We just went with another color, thats all that happened there.
I would wear that to an interview, sans the hat, of course.
So we had to cut it.
I didnt want to be in a costume, I wanted to be in her wardrobe.
I thought it was too 1980s, Chenoweth said.
I just thought,Were getting off track, here.
On the rack, I thought,Im never going to wear that.
There was nowhere to put her.
And thats the devastating one.
But it doesnt look Lavinia.
I loved, loved, loved, loved the black and gold striped dress, Chenoweth said.
She probably has a collection of dolls.
She can probably wear her dolls clothes.
Both of these gowns looked like I could walk out and do a concert [in them].
But again, they are not quirky enough.
They are just not quirky enough.
You need an applique or something weird going on with these dresses or they are just not Lavinia.
I thought she probably would have put on her mothers wedding dress.
For some reason nobody could agree on it but I love it so much.
It could have worked, Chenoweth said.
Again, it goes back to the period.
And even though Im sort of making up the period, I want it to be correct.
This one didnt make it just because, well, I didnt like it, Chenoweth said.
I loved the purse but …
It just seemed to work better.
