Costume workflow from design through to fitting

About

The costume supervisor is the key liaison point between the costume workroom and the costume designer, but direct contact between the designer and maker really helps everyone to get a good idea of what's required. After the actor's measurements are received at the start of the rehearsal period, patterns and material can be cut and the costume assembled in a provisional form prior to a series of fittings, after which the costume will be assembled in its final form.
