River Tam's Blue Dress in Serenity

River Tam's Blue Dress in Serenity

 

This blue dress is probably the most iconic dress worn by River Tam in Serenity.

Here's the write-ups from Propstore of London (pages no longer available) :
 
"River Maidenhead Bar Costume
 
A costume worn by River in the sci-fi adventure Serenity. This costume was worn by River in the Maidenhead Bar scene where she receives a subliminal message and attacks all the bar’s patrons. It consists of a short blue dress, with a sheer patterned blue dress worn layered over the top, a knitted black shrug garment to go on the arms and a pair of dark blue underpants. No sizes marked.
 
This was priced at $4,709."
 
Here are Propstore photos of River Tam's blue dress (probably a custom made design) :

It is interesting to see that costume. It must have been quite sturdy to survive all those fight scenes but maybe there was more than one costume. So, we get to see the blue dress completely deconstructed. It is very feminine, something for a girly girl and we have no clue about what it actually is - the fighting gear worn by a lethal killing machine. We even see the dreaded blue underwear of death.

This article is a good example of the contradiction that is River Tam. I still find it amazing that the petite, gentle, graceful River Tam is a lethal weapon capable of dishing out lethal blows and plenty of pain to a roomful of tough guys. And we are not seeing on the mannequin a suit of chain mail or armour. Nope, all we see is a pretty dress. Amazing!

The woman in charge of the costume department said it in an article; this ethereal, light dress is paired with combat boots to underline River Tam duality : an innocent teenager that can turn in a lethal weapon.
