About me
A self motivated focused and driven individual with dynamic ideas and the ability to work well on her own initiative, as part of a team and with excellent leadership qualities. Also a Fashion blogger for over 6 years on www.aroselikethis.blogspot.co.uk with a monthly reach of over 100k. Assistant leader in the Girl-Guiding movement. Avid crafter and thrifter.I've been working as a wardrobe/costume assistant for Congleton Pantomime at The Daneside Theatre for the past 6 years alongside my studies and degree. This may be a volunteer basis but I've treated this role in a professional capacity and take great pride in all the costumes we rent and garments we create ourselves. I'm used to mending costumes for show purposes and also know how to care for them. I have a great understanding that often it can be the costume that helps the actor become the character and this in turn makes the costumes come to life. When it comes to costumes I prefer to keep detailed descriptions and imagery so I know exactly how each piece should be worn along with this I keep my paperwork for costumes/cast in an organised manner so it is efficient and helpful to any other member of the team who may need it for reference. Along with my general duties for The Congleton Pantomime regarding costumes I also oversee dressing rooms and keep all items in the correct order per scene to the show that is currently on. I'm a keen team player and I'm more than happy to get my hands stuck in to anything that needs doing in a theatre environment or otherwise.
I'm also a vintage enthusiast and my personal style is influenced by the 1950s. I have an avid interest for historical costumes and different eras including what fabrics were used and why. This thirst for knowledge has compelled me to look into the past to find out how people made their clothing through the ages.
Additional skills:
I am DBS checked for Girl Guiding but do not have my own personally at this moment in time.
A wide spectrum of experience within the fashion industry from PR and Marketing to CAD. Whilst at Vintage Life Magazine she has grown the social media presence to over 870k and over 1 million Facebook fans with a weekly reach of up to 28 million.
