Little Women 1860s Dress

Little Women: The Broadway Musical - Sherman Theatre
Director: Rachel Heyburn 
Costume Designer: Bryony Cook
Photography: Kirsten Mcterna

I worked on Little Women as a costume maker and assistant. I made two costumes for Jo and Amy’s daily dress, and I also draped Meg’s dress bodice. As a costume assistant, I was responsible for alterations and repairs, fittings, organising and labelling costumes, and helping with dressing and quick changes during the shows. This time the costumes were made by draping on the stand without the original pattern.

Metarials: cotton, calico, spiral steel boning, lace.
