About me
I have been been working in wardrobe for 17 years now, covering most wardrobe positions from dressing through to costume supervision.Having managed large scale tours several times internationally and in the West End, I have the experience and understanding of how to organise and put on a show from fabric sampling & fittings, tech periods and the day to day running wardrobe.
I am an excellent hand and machine sewer, and am also very experienced in alterations and heavy costume repairs, having toured with a ballet company for many years.
I executed most of the costume alterations myself when on the road, with the ever revolving door of dancers coming in and out of the company, usually with a moments notice.
I have experience with props and costume props to a certain extent, and enjoy the problem solving and creativity that comes with prop repair and maintenance.
I am good at managing my time on a tight schedule and like to get things done as efficiently as possible.
I take pride in my work and want everything to be perfect and enjoy what I do.
I’m calm in a crisis, work well under pressure and understand how important it is to work with all the other departments to make sure everything runs like clockwork.
Additional skills:
-Excellent hand and machine sewing skills
-Costume painting, dyeing and breaking down
-Experience with costume props
-Vast knowledge of wardrobe show plot making
-I have toured several times Internationally
-I have managed large and small wardrobe teams
-I work well under pressure and time restraints
