How do you costume so many kids? Organization!
If you can offer to help sew - Thank you, thank you, thank you! Please let us know at auditions or by dropping us a line. Here's what you can expect: ***Don't sweat the small stuff. Unless you are constructing an elaborate gown, much of the garment can be simplified. Fasters and zippers can be replaced by velcro, buttons and decorative effects can be painted on, pockets eliminated.
*** Hems should be as generous as possible (you want to be able to let a hem out to fit a much taller actor in the future).
*** Oversize - we can always pin a garment in, or add a belt, or use a few basting stitches to bring the size in. It's much more time-consuming to add panels and let a piece out.
*** Remember the 20 foot rule - if you can't see the difference at 20 feet... why bring something up another inch or spend an hour fussing with a pleat? |
