A-Roving - Costume Designs

Here are my costume designs! There have been some minor changes since they were finished - the black jackets are now blue, and Nick's shorts are different but that asside these are the costumes.



 

Alex







Hattie, Peter, James



For Hattie I wanted a slightly quirky but still modern look, whereas Peter is a contrast in more traditional fisherman's attire. James is more of a beach-tourist style, which works quite well on the actor.

 

Jesamine, Hannah, Nick





 For Jesamine I wanted a very quirky look, nautical but not quite cliche. For Hannah I wanted a more elegant, upperclass style to ballance Nick and James. For Nick the idea was very much surfer meets (for want of a better term) beach bum, as it suits his frame.

 

Richard, Joscelyn, Alana



Richard is the 'pair' for Hannah, another more formal style while still being blue and white and looking traveled while not broken down. For Joscelyn, I wanted something different from the others but still inkeeping with the look and feel of the production - keeping with the nautical theme with the colour pallete, headscarf and belt while being a more modern, casual style. Alana's costume is, in a way, a cross in styles between Nick and James, part beach casual part surfer while still being quirky.




Declan

Declan's style is very similar to Peters in the more traditional fisherman's attire, including the hat and thick jumper.



 There has also been another change in that there has been a new cast member added! This brings our cast up to 12. Due to the budget restrictions and the short time period until the show, our director has requested that I source the costume from the actors wardrobe. This is going to be an interesting challenge with the majority of the cast not returning until the week before the show, but in this email has been a saving grace.
