About me
Since graduating in 2010 I have been employed in costume departments for both theatre and film. My most recent theatre work has been as deputy wardrobe mistress for the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Richard II at the Barbican. This job and previous work on West End shows as a wardrobe assistant have given me experience adapting, altering and repairing garments, laundering costumes and also swing dressing in order to assist the smooth running of the wardrobe department.Aside from my work in wardrobe I am also an experienced costume maker. My work in this capacity includes cutting and constructing male and female period costumes for the Sky TV production of 'Treasure Island' and assisting with making a spacesuit for the feature film 'Gravity'. These jobs furthered my existing construction skills and gave me experience using industrial sewing machines and working long hours under pressure.
I am passionate and highly committed to my work. I work well by myself but also as an enthusiastic team member. I am constantly looking to add to my existing skills and expand my knowledge particularly in costume making.
Additional skills:
Historical cutting and construction for men and women
Altering, adapting & repairing costumes
Costume fitting
Precise neat sewing
Breaking down costumes
Laundering costumes
Swing dressing
