  • 1.  Costume Construction Supplies/Budget Question

    Posted 11-14-2018 10:29
    Are students allowed to use fabrics and notions we have in stock in our costume closet (basically leftovers from previous shows) and NOT account for these items in the $100  budget for costume construction?

    Are you meaning as in IE's? If so, I have always interpreted that as all product must be purchased that is used for the costume. 

    If just for your own production, then by all means repurpose pieces! 

    Hope that helped! 

    (If for IE's and money starts getting tight try goodwill or another 2nd hand store. Use plus sized clothing and you can take those clothing pieces apart at seams and use it like fabric with your pattern. Also look for curtains and bedding)

    From what I understand, the cost of any found items still needs to be approximated.  Otherwise, students could go rummaging and make an entire costume from leftovers- unfair to other participants who don't have that option.
