'The Wattle Dress' is a costume worn by Guy Pearce (AKA Adam Whitely / Felicia JollyGoodFellow) in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
The unique costume comprises a lined golden G-string leotard, covered with plastic green foliage and tulle yellow and gold pom poms to replicate wattle. It was designed by Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner.
The yellow pompoms on the costume were produced by inmates of the Long Bay Correctional Complex.
