About me
I have worked for almost 15 years in theatre as a freelance wardrobe supervisor and costume designer. I also work as a costume maker and have constructed theatrical and period costume for many North West theatres and I am regularly commissioned to design and create period costumes and corsetry for arts education workshops in various museums and National Trust heritage sites. In November 2013, I opened Chester Costume House, which is a theatrical costume hire and making company. I own and manage this business whilst continuing with my freelance work.Additional skills:
I have worked as a wardrobe supervisor, costume designer and costume maker and also as a dresser. The productions have ranged from small casts of 5 to large scale plays consisting of over 100. I have clear knowledge of fabrics, clothes, history of costume and fashion, hiring and buying costumes and making up period and modern garments. I am able to work to very strict deadlines and keep within tight budgets.
