I'm in charge of sewing and preparing the costumes for our Easter program. I've been doing costumes for years and I have a question. The Director and I are not arguing, just discussing, for the record.
Background:
I like to be historically accurate when I prepare a costume. The play is a narration, some script and a musical.
We have one part where the women, taken in adultery, is thrown at Jesus' feet.
Problem:
The Director wants me to shorten the women's sleeves because she wants her to have bling, bling showing on her wrists. I don't have a problem with that, but I'm not in agreement with the shortened sleeves. In
John 8:3 the Scribes and Pharisees bring her to Jesus quoting Moses's law - that bears out that she is a Hebrew. She is saying that this is Mary Magdelene in
Luke 8:2 and I don't believe it is the same woman.
I don't think just because she committed adultery that she was a Hoochie Mama. LOL! I think she would dress as the Hebrews dressed. I don't see her as adopting the dress of the Romans or Greeks, per se.
So, would you shorten the sleeves or leave them long? I have to do what the Director wants, but this just bugs me!
