I actually have a dress like hers. When I am back home I'll post a picture of it. The necklines are almost the same and it is blue as well.

haha I haven't been on NW (forum) for a long time, but I have to confess that when I saw the trailer, my second viewing was all to get a good look at RD's dress. I think we've all been imagining it so much all these year, that's it's extra interesting to see what they're actually gonna do. and it's nice to come on here and see that everyone's analyzing it already

personally though I must admit I was a tad disappointed, my head had quite a nice little version of RD going so it was a bit put out to the see the real, different version, especially with the whiteness that I'm seeing. I'm not yet ready to hedge my bets if it's white or blue, I'd LIKE it to be blue, but whatever happens that strong light will most likely dominate any of her dress we do see anyway, so in a way it's sorta, (slightly) irrelevant (though I admit I will be looking closely at it's colour in any future previews we get). anyway, seeing the few pics posted on here so far, I'm starting to like it more... that empire waist is lovely, and my heart just warmed when someone mentioned how like the illustration it is. that makes me happy

On the whole blue and white factor, I saw stardust again to analyze Claire's version on her star like take. Her first dress is a metallic light blue, very close to Lilliandil's color for her dress in this movie and the other was a darker blue. Every time she would glow both of the dresses would look white or lighter in a sense. Maybe this crew is only trying to do the same thing.

As long as her dress or dresses look like some article(s) of clothing that came from a Narnian island, I'll be happy!!! Well why would they copy what other costumers did in the Stardust movie? I mean that would be pretty sad, and anyway this is Narnia we are talking about.
Now for the blue and the white i think her dress the under dress anyway might be a light blue like This or a sky blue like This. but when i look at the picture it seems to me that the top layer is a very light blue; and the style of the dress looks like its some what grecian inspired without having any actual reference to the grecain style.

^^ yeah those are the exact colors I thought as well! Finally someone who can see it too

I bet more then anything when Lilliandil stops glowing her top layer is see through, the light blue that Group Hug pointed out. look here:

That top layer is most definitely see through.

Also i didn't mean that the costumers are trying to take Stardust's costumes idea, I was only analyzing every time Yvaine would glow both of her dresses would appear lighter.

Geez, did they have to make her that bright..?

Honestly, it's difficult for me to look at her at all - as sensitive as my eyes are.. I really hope she's not so blinding bright in the movie that it's hard for other people with sensitive eyes to look at her as well.. That would totally ruin her appearance.. I think the movie makers went a bit overboard with her unnessessary level of brightness.. >.<

^ We now know that Lilliandil will not be glowing the entire time. Here's a picture of her standing sideways with Caspian and the Pevensies:

Her over dress is white but you can see that her under dress is a very light blue.

Welll, that's more of a production shot. The lighting of the shots in some of the movie tie-in books doesn't always match the film. I doubt that she will completely stop glowing, but who knows.

I still really cannot see a light blue underdress. Can you point me to where it shows through/where you can see it through the overdress? Maybe it's because I had the presupposition that her entire dress is white, but all I see is a white dress.

^You can see it in the middle of her chest almost and stomach since her over dress is very shear you can see it.

Now that we have a picture where she is not glowing so much, we can see what her dress looks like.

I like the fact that it fans out into a fulls skirt.

Her dress in the picture is still contrasted and bright. I guess we'll know till we see the movie.

I haven't been on here for a while now, but I have o say when I saw the trailer one of the highlights was definitely her dress/look! I too doubt she will ever stop glowing entirely...however I quite like it
to me....it almost looks like a white top layer with light blue underneath? but it is very hard to tell. I guess time and more pictures will tell... and on the plus side...tis' making me even more excited for the movie!

Here is a picture of the dress from the newest trailer. It's a good shot, and gives us a clearer picture than any of the previous ones, I think.

From what I understand, it's going to be a bell dress that flares out--very similar to a 15th/16th century European dress, only without sleeves. It's not what I imagined, but it's interesting.
What do you think?

I was looking at that shot earlier, there's A LOT of material at the back isn't there? way more than I thought there'd be. do you have any pictures of the 15th/16th century dresses you mean? I'm not sure I quite understand you

I agree with you about the material...I was like, "woah, there's more to that dress than I thought!" I'd imagined it to be something very light, silky, and flowing....

Unfortunately I can't send you the picture of the specific dress I am referring to, because I saw it at a reenactment festival and was not able to get a photo. This is the closest thing I found...not exactly what I mean, but close enough. I speaking plainly about the shape of the dress--not the actual design--just the bell-dress shape with lots of material in the back...I hope it gives a bit of a clearer picture.
