Does anyone mark sizes in their costumes? What have you found is the easiest way to do this? Do you also mark hangers? ------------------------------ Linda Button Springdale AR ------------------------------

I find it best to mark ladies costumes with bust, waist, hip measurements, because pattern sizes and store sizes are radically different. And most of us prefer the smaller size number to stroke our egos, but it does nothing to help a costumer pull costumes that fit. ------------------------------ Floyd Nash ------------------------------

I don't typically mark sizes in our costumes as most of them are altered every time a different actor wears it, otherwise, just holding it up or trying it on is a good enough reference.

 Then again, we've often talked about cataloging them in some kind of database. If I could only find the time to do it....
