Costume Sourcing

For a project that has its deadline commencing relatively soon, we decided to try and source as much of the costume and props that we could. Obviously making and sewing is what we'd ideally like to be doing as that is our area of study, but the priority is meeting the deadline that the employer has set. By sourcing costumes we're saving a lot of time otherwise spent sewing from scratch things we could source much easier.
Making use of a selection of the costumes left over from a family theatre company I was able to travel to the storage space where these are kept with Leigh and pick out costumes relevant to the project.
On the left, Ellie is trying on trousers that could potentially be used for the Lion Tamer character.
On the right is one of two of the racks of costumes displaying the assortment of costumes.
Obviously some of the costume wont be able to be sourced, such as the mermaid tail, due to the rarity of owning such specific costume items. This will have to be made instead.
