Then there's the fun of having to make two identical costumes because the part is double- cast and the two actors are totally different sizes.<br />But you're right; sewing costumes does require a different set of standards. I'm constantly reminding myself that it only has to look good from 20 feet away. Best of luck with the show, and I hope they give you a proper acknowledgment in the program!Welmoed Sissonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497763134207170293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278085019370560632.post-336865658272355312012-09-23T23:42:01.717-04:002012-09-23T23:42:01.717-04:00Well it looks impressive.

I had to true up that gown before every performance for the first week.<br /><br />Heck, I had to rehem in .during. the performance because it grew so fast and the actress would trip on it onstage.badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.com
