"Over the River and Through the Woods" Costumes:

So hey there blogging world, We have talked for a while but I have finally found something to chat about. My production I have been directing is slowly progressing, though very slowly. We are now in crunch time with four weeks left meaning FOUR let me repeat FOUR planned rehearsals left. But because I am bored and have so much empty time in my life right now I have drawn up some character costume sketches. These are all what I basically would like for my actor's costumes. In fact fairly soon after I drew up the costume for the character of Emma, my mom found one of her old skirt/suit outfits. So for other information: It is set in the mid eighties. So Nicky's costumes here are suppose to very "young/businessy". Important key elements of this costume is the button suspenders and the white collar/cuff blue shirt. Funny enough the this element and the yellow tie is fairly common in men's fashion today, but it is seen commonly in eighties men's fashion.

For Nicky's "second half" costume picture here on the right also is just simply adding a jacket and a possible tie change.

My next costume is Caitlyn's. It is fairly simple. It is a light and cute summer dress with a light cardigan on top. It fits well to her pe

rsonality of being sweet and neat.

The other concepts I have are the grandparents. Our first couple, Nunzio and Emma, I had thought up that Emma was one of those Old women that think their younger then their actual age, so they dress accordingly. So Emma I have her nicely dressed even with a pair of pumps. And her husband in nice button up and sweater vest. For their costume changes I having Emma add a jacket and Nunzio a bow tie and possibly a different sweater vest.

Our next couple is Frank and Aida. They are a little more homely. Adia is your ideal house wife. She is in a simple "diner's" dress with tights, keds, an apron and cardigan. When she has a costume change she loses everything except the dress and tights with the addition of a scarf and flats. For her husband Frank the first half we have your mechanic'scoveralls with velcro shoes and a truckers hat. For his costume change he will have his other outfit underneath. Button up shirt, suspenders, bow tie, and slacks with the same velcro shoes.
