Costume design for the ballet "Giselle," composed by Adolphe Adam in 1841, is a crucial element that contributes to the storytelling, atmosphere, and historical authenticity of the production. The original costume designs were crafted by Paul Lormier, a notable designer of the 19th century. Lormier's work on "Giselle" is celebrated for its attention to detail and its ability to enhance the narrative through visual means.

The ballet "Giselle" is set in a Rhineland village during the Middle Ages, and the costumes reflect this historical context. The first act features peasant attire, with Giselle herself dressed in a simple yet charming dress that underscores her innocence and connection to the pastoral setting. Her costume typically includes a fitted bodice, a full skirt, and a delicate apron, often in soft, earthy tones that complement the village scenery. The male characters, including Albrecht and Hilarion, wear rustic, medieval-inspired garments that denote their social status and roles within the village.

In stark contrast, the second act of "Giselle" transports the audience to a ghostly, ethereal realm inhabited by the Wilis, spirits of betrayed maidens. The costume design for this act is characterized by flowing, white gowns that create a haunting, otherworldly effect. These costumes are designed to enhance the dancers' movements, giving them an almost weightless appearance as they glide across the stage. The use of light, airy fabrics and delicate embellishments helps to convey the supernatural and tragic elements of the story.

Paul Lormier's designs for "Giselle" have set a standard for subsequent productions, influencing how the characters are visually represented in various adaptations of the ballet. His work not only captures the essence of the characters and their emotional journeys but also serves as a visual bridge between the audience and the narrative. The enduring popularity of "Giselle" can be partly attributed to the timeless and evocative costume designs that continue to captivate audiences around the world.
