Costume Supervisor - Pride & Prejudice (The Mount Without)
This production of Pride & Prejudice was performed in a 250 year old stone church and included fabric sourcing for 10 show makes. Each Bennet sister had a regency muslin dress worn with an overgrown in a signature colour to achieve the look the designer wanted. From coordinating fittings with the costume makers and designer to achieving an accurate set of costumes for this period, this role also involved contacting costume hire companies to source military uniform.

1795 - 1810 Riding Habit, Patterns of Fashion Competition entry
This recreation of a riding habit 1795 -1810 was an exciting opportunity to further explore the construction of women’s clothing in the Regency period. Research trips to the Salisbury Museum where original garment is kept supported the construction, being immersed in the eyes and hands of the original maker. The challenge of creating a virtuoso piece that is as true to the original as possible has been a very inspiring journey and a real luxury to draft and make and entirely hand sewn piece of clothing.

Costume Maker - A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Malcolm X Community Centre)
Working with the theatrical tailoring tutors at school, these two pairs of combinations were constructed from an original pattern. The movement on stage required the costumes to be non- restrictive whilst still having an authentic Edwardian feel. The silhouettes needed to be suitable for underdressing as part of the character’s changing throughout the play.
