The three peach-coloured bridesmaids’ ensembles were worn by Cheryl (Rosalind Hammond), Tania (Sophie Lee) and Janine (Belinda Jarrett) at Muriel’s wedding.

Each ensemble comprises a peach-coloured, floor-length frock with tulle skirt and lace bodice. Also part of the costume are a white petticoat, floral hairpiece, earrings and gold shoes. In this moment of triumph for Muriel, Tania and her friends have been temporarily transformed by their outfits into demure handmaidens to the regal bride. Just a few words of dialogue is enough, however, to remind us that the claws are only barely concealed beneath the immaculate nail varnish.
