COSTUME FOR THE THEATRE

' Lots of Bling'

This is a recent costume I constructed for an actor playing the part of
Elvis Presley in a play called Cooking with Elvis.


'Frock coat'


Another costume for the theatre.
The original fabric of the coat was perished and beyond use so I unpicked it
and used the pieces as my pattern. It is made in velvet, using the original
braiding from the original coat which I remade using new fabric. A lot of
the braiding was also  worn so I spent a fair while matching the embroidery
threads to repair the patterning.
