Clothes that mimi(from rent) wears during la vie boheme...?

Question

i need to get together a costume to be decked out as mimi from rent... to fit the la vie boheme scene.

does anybody know what outfit that was, where i could get it or any suggestions? also a picture if u could find one.

Answer 1

She dressed very provocatively, spandex and lowcut.  In La Vie Boheme, a tunic top and leggings would work, and probably be more age-appropriate for you.

PS The link above is for the character of Mimi in the Puccini opera La Boheme, on which the musical is loosely based.  

Go here instead to see what Rosario Dawson wore in the scene from the movie:
