About me
I am a London based costume maker with a passion for period costume ever since I was an extra on Downton Abbey! Prior to training in costume, I was a professional dancer, chiefly contemporary, so I am no stranger to the fast paced nature of back stage. After gaining my HND in costume, I did an intensive course specialising in period costume including cutting, men’s tailoring, and underpinnings. In the future, I see myself pattern cutting and making period costumes for stage and screen. I have done costume making/alterations for several shows now but as well as being in the workroom, I am also interested in gaining more experience backstage as a costume assistant to further my career in wardrobe.Additional skills:
- Pattern cutting
- Garment construction and corsetry
- Knitting and crochet
- Needle and wet felting
- Hand and machine embroidery
- Textile embellishment: applique, diamante and foiling
- Mono and lino printing
- Trained dancer in Contemporary, tap, jazz and a little bit of ballet
- ISTD Jazz and Modern dance teacher
