Stage 6: On display are two costumes from the movie Voyager (Germany/France/Greece 1990/91), directed by Volker Schlöndorff.
Beiges Plisseekleid für Barbara Sukowa in ihrer Rolle als Hanna Piper
Blaues Tanzkleid für Julie Delpy in ihrer Rolle als Sabeth
The costume on the left is:
a beige pleated dress
as worn by Barbara Sukowa in her role as Sabeth’s mother Hanna Piper.
This fully pleated dress in beige Honan silk is calf-length, sleeveless and has a sweeping bateau neckline. The fabric of the loose bodice covers and slightly overhangs the shoulders. The narrow pleats, each roughly a finger’s width, run from the shoulder down to the hem. The waist is emphasized with a light brown leather belt about four centimeters wide – the buckle concealed with a flap made of the same leather. In the film, Hanna accessorizes the dress with dark strap pumps with a low heel

The costume on the right is:
a blue cocktail dress
as worn by Julie Delpy in her role as Sabeth (Elisabeth Piper).
This midnight blue calf-length silk dress consists of a wide skirt and a sleeveless, close-fitting bodice. The yoke with its scoop neckline ends under the bust. The horizontal seam is covered with narrow panels of fabric that extend and grow wider down towards the hem, lending the so-called panel skirt its width. A petticoat is worn underneath the garment. The back of the bodice is fastened with fabric-covered buttons. A long-sleeve bolero made of the same midnight blue silk completes the dress. This short, open-front jacket has a narrow shawl collar and rounded corners.
