In January of 2024 I worked as the sole costumer for a student directed play at Williams College. I designed and created the entire cast’s costumes from start to finish. The process of creating these costumes consisted of several steps. First, I researched the fashion of the plays time period (1183) to better understand the world in which the characters lived and how they dressed. My goal was to create costumes that were as historically accurate as possible, while working with the time, budget and resources available to me.  Next, I worked on designing and planning the costumes for each character, based as accurately as possible on my research. I worked with the cast to gather measurements and specifications for each character before diving into the extensive and labor-intensive sewing process. This step took the longest, sewing nine full costumes myself is no small task, but was the most enjoyable. After many fittings, alterations, and weeks of work, the costumes were complete and ready for the stage. See the costumes in action below.
