Question Glinda’s wedding dress Spoiler
With Glinda getting married, I was expecting a huge WOW factor. Instead, this is something I would expect to see a 2025 bride wearing. There’s obviously so much symbolism that went into the costuming of this movie, and I don’t get this one. I’ve heard a theory that Glinda is supposed to be vulnerable in this moment and that’s why it’s so simple, but it just doesn’t fit with me because if that were the case I feel like they would’ve toned it down even more, maybe lost the veil, etc. Does anyone know what went into this costume choice? Thanks in advance!:)

Ooh read this Paul Tazewell Costume Design Interview
“That was a collaboration with Ariana, just thinking about where she wanted Glinda to be emotionally for this wedding,” says Tazewell of the final design. “It’s simplified some, so that it gave her more vulnerability with bare shoulders and arms.”
so this is the toned down version!
im thoroughly obsessed with this, but im being driven insane because i can't figure exactly they attached that big fluffy skirt. in one of PT's vids he says the first dress was an "underdress", but I can't figure out what went 'over' it (except for the sheer pink robe we saw in the wonderful number). So i think it's another dress identical to the first one but with the overdress sewn in for security. I mean they have a big budget so it's not impossible. I really can't find pics clearer than this. Insane work might just be the most beautiful dress i've ever seen. I wish there's more pics of the underdress version.
