About me
I am a wardrobe assistant, maker, and dresser, from Aylesbury. I am currently working on Calendar Girls The Musical as Deputy Head of Wardrobe.In the last year I have worked as a Wardrobe Assistant on The Bodyguard Tour, Milton Keynes Pantomime, cruise ship install for James Maciver, and Anything Goes. I also worked as a dep dresser for Pretty Woman.
In 2020 I went on tour as the head of wardrobe for Kristina Rhianoff's Dance to the Music UK tour, travelling around the UK on a daily basis, doing alterations, laundry, maintenance and dressing for the shows. Before this I worked as Wardrobe Mistress for UK Productions on their pantomime, Beauty and the Beast, at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre.
I have worked as a wardrobe assistant doing cruise ship installs for Carnival UK and often work as a casual dresser for several local theatres. As a causal dresser I have experience of working on various touring productions including musical theatre, opera, ballet and dance shows. I am also experienced with repertory theatre as I worked for Shakespeare's Rose Theatre at Blenheim Palace as a dresser on their four Shakespearean productions.
I graduated from Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance's, Costume Production course in 2017. Where I worked on four productions as part of the wardrobe team, as well as having done several work placements, including five weeks as a wardrobe assistant for Italia Conti's various schools. After graduating I worked at Lapland UK for the 2017 Christmas season as a wardrobe assistant.
When I was a supervisor I liked running the budget, and managing the paperwork and organisation of fittings and costumes. I successfully managed a small team of costume assistants and felt confident resolving issues that arose with the team members.
Additional skills:
On the course I learnt costume history, and did several projects for both men's and women's wear. I also did short courses in millinery, dance wear, dying and breaking down, and hair and make-up.
