This first outfit with the hat is my first outfit the audience sees me in. There used to be a line in the original script about how much I love wild flowers, so the detail of the wild flowers on the blouse makes me so happy. Silvia's a very free spirit and it feels like it expresses that amidst other characters' conservative natures.

My belt has a pocket built in it for a handkerchief that I carry my money in. We couldn't have a handbag so this was an unusual and intriguing solution. Which mirrors Silvia's need to make do with what she has as a mother of four!

This lilac dress and velvet Aubergine/ purple jacket isn't very practical at all actually. I fall over the lace and it really likes to trip me up in the dance, but I actually think that's the point of the dinner party scene—that I let loose and dance wildly even if the dress is in the way!  The lace is stunning up close and the jacket really suits the pattern of the dress. I use pink gloves in the scene in many ways to help express the things I'm saying too. So they were a useful tool in the scene.

Towards the end of the show, as I'm getting sicker, I start to wear a white angelic nightgown, but my favourite robe of all of them is this beautiful brightly colored one I wear in the bows. It says to the audience and myself that Neverland is a beautiful place, and it mirrors the lines I sing about butterflies and letting your cares drift away. It was originally intended for my departure in the glitter tornado but it wouldn't fly so I asked if I could wear it for the bows. Everyone was happy it got to have a showing.
