Creating a Costume Girl

Creating a Costume Girl grew out of years of being a dance mom who fell in love with creating costumes for dance recitals, competitions, local theatre, skating, glee and just plain dress-up. Thinking back further, I remember tinkering with a needle and thread as far back as Barbie dolls. I was that girl in high school who bought thrift finds to alter and made party dresses out of mothers old curtains. All these years later, I’m excited to create a new life pattern and cut a new life design.

On Stage

Opportunity has come knocking once again. That means there are a few different projects I get a chance to work on.

The Hudson Village Players are putting on a Spring production and I have been selected as costume mistress. Most of the costumes will come out of the closet of my favourite supplier,Karen, but a few special items are required. In HVP style of course these fun little items are to design and make "quick release" pyjama bottoms with matching undies and of course two bustiers with animated bosoms and a school girl look. To help is my good friend Valerie to make sure all the innuendos are not missed. Should be fun!

The Hudson Village Players have been practicing so much for their upcoming production No Sex Please, We're British, it is only fair that their costumes be ready for the St. Patty's day parade in Hudson. Many have come fit and chosen pieces. Its the home stretch for this week and they are looking good!

Ms. Kerwin requested a custom look to complement her choreography of a lyrical number to be debuted recital night.

Fittings for the 5 Hudson Dance girls. DONE! The practice dance looked awesome. Now on the alterations and the dresses are all theirs!
