The left hand figure is short and dumpy and wears an exaggerated puff sleeved, knee length nightdress in orange with white horizontal stripes, looped up with yellow ribbons to show knee length, lace trimmed drawers beneath, and decorated with two large daisies on the bodice. She carries a candle in her left hand. The right hand figure is tall and thin and wears a similar nightdress in blue with white vertical stripes, looped up with orange ribbon, but cut to accentuate the character's thinner figure. She also carries a candle.  The background is painted in grey-brown gouache. The design is signed and dated and on the reverse is inscribed with the names of the actors, the characters and the pantomime.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Tingey, Cynthia","id":"A2616"},"association":{"text":"costume designers","id":"AAT163428"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Tingey, Cynthia","id":"A2616"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"Ink","id":"AAT15012"},{"text":"Gouache","id":"AAT70114"},{"text":"Paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painting","id":"x30598"},{"text":"drawing (image-making)","id":"AAT54196"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Pen and ink and gouache on paper","categories":[{"text":"Entertainment & Leisure","id":"THES48959"},{"text":"Pantomime","id":"THES266218"},{"text":"Designs","id":"THES48968"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&P","id":"THES48602"},"images":["2012FT4278"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES356606"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"costume design","id":"AAT163423"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1971","earliest":"1971-01-01","latest":"1971-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by the artist","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"374","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"274","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'Cynthia Tingey -'71'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"Ink","method":"Handwriting","position":"Lower left hand corner","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"Signature","note":"Signature; Lower left hand corner; Handwriting; Ink"},{"content":"'93 Terry Scott & Julian'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"Pencil","method":"Handwriting","position":"Reverse","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"Textual information","note":"Textual information; Reverse; Handwriting; Pencil"},{"content":"'Terry Scott - Julian Orchard - Ugly Sisters / Cinderella -1971.'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"Pencil","method":"Handwriting","position":"Reverse","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"Textual information","note":"Textual information; Reverse; Handwriting; Pencil"}],"objectHistory":"This is one of a collection of designs for pantomime and cabaret, given to the Theatre Museum by the designer, Cynthia Tingey, who created the costumes for 15 of the annual London Palladium pantomimes.
