Costume Designer - Sterling College Theatre - Sterling, KS - 2019
The Liar characters are loud and flamboyant set in an era where the clothes were just as loud. To have the character’s color pop and be consistent, we constructed all of the looks out of muslin to help stay within the limited budget, then we dyed the clothing to create the color. For a different take on the elaborate era, I had all the trims and designs hand painted. I would find reference or draw out the design for each character and then had my team paint the design on the material.
I knew the set designer had chosen to make the set blue, so I avoided putting any character in only blue so that they didn’t blend into the background. I have the trims that were painting onto the costume consist of some cool tones so that the set and costumes would belong together.
