About me
I have over 14 years prior experience in Costume, making and maintaining costumes, wigs and working productions.As a Wardrobe HOD I have been responsible for ensuring the smooth running of get-ins, performances, performance changeovers and get outs on a weekly touring schedule, for large scale musicals including Funny Girl The Musical, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Beautiful The Carole King Musical and currently Motown the Musical.
In pre-production and rehearsals I liaise with the designer and costume supervisor regarding the sourcing of costumes and shoes to the designer’s detailed requirements. I attend fittings, production meetings, and all rehearsals, liaising closely with other heads of department.
I have supervised teams from 2 to 10, managing staff hours, schedules and rotas, while ensuring compliance with statutory regulations.
I have excellent sewing skills along with a broad knowledge of costume making techniques and care. I have excellent time management and organisational skills coupled with strong computing skills.
I'm told I have a down to earth, hands on attitude, tempered with a pleasant nature and first class inter-personal skills. I can be a self-motivator or a team player.
I am interested in all aspects of costume, from making to supervising and have experience of most disciplines within large and small companies.
Additional skills:
Historical and modern flat pattern cutting, drapery, tailoring, printing and dying techniques, aging and breaking down. Wig maintence.
Referees:
Available on request.

Full driving licence, own car.
