Costume Sourcing, Adaptations and Breaking Down

This evening I went sourcing again to find the 2 remaining accessories to my costumes. I managed to find a necklace and make a necktie from a scrap of brown fabric.

I also adapted the chemise for Belle and I am really happy with the result.

I broke down Dan's trousers and they are now perfect for his character as Belle's client.

I am very happy with how well everything has gone, despite the few jobs I had left today tonight. I am very much looking forward to working on set to see how my costumes look on film and how well they work with the set design and lighting etc.

Fitting and Costume Sourcing

Today I had a fitting for both of the actresses, Annabelle and Caroline, and the actor, Dan. I am thrilled with how good everything looked. I have an adaptation to make to Belle's costume but it should be fairly simple. I also need to break down the trousers for Dan to make them look more worn and source a necktie for Dan and a necklace for Annabelle. I had a look in the uni costume store collection of jewellery but the only thing I could find that may have worked is an earring that I would need to attach to a chain but i am not 100% happy with that so I will try to source a necklace later.

Caroline (Adelita)

I feel I have really successfully done my job as a costume designer so far and due to my organisation skills I have managed to keep on top of everything.
