Cover of Designing and Making Stage Costumes
Written for the use of students and practitioners in the amateur and professional worlds of today's theatre, this handbook covers every aspect of a costume designer's work from preliminary sketches and discussions with a producer to cutting and trying on from productions of Shakespeare to those of modern plays and musicals. Its 11 chapters include advice on a variety of problems - the effects of lighting on colour, the cutting of period costumes, props, padding and the use and design of "basic" costumes for different purposes and different periods. It includes a set of silhouettes of men and women from the 12th to 19th centuries. Motley is the corporate name for Margaret Harris, Sophia Harris, Elizabeth Montgomery.
