the coolest one i've done, and this mostly had to do with the director's vision, was a costume for Lady MacBeth where her black dress gave her the sillouhette of this ghastly wailing figure while she was trying to wash blood off of her hands. i love working with flowy fabrics for special effects on stage.

i mostly get stuck with period pieces because a lot of plays are set back in time for our particular company but i really enjoy making fifties style dresses. even on our bigger actressses the shape of the clothes always flatters them well and there is nothing like seeing a costume give someone confidence to get into character! those are the days i don't mind working long hellish hours in the costume shop. but i'm in a position where i don't just design so it's a process.
