Enchanted April

Several weeks ago, Ashland University put on the production Enchanted April. It is a very moving story about four women who take a trip to Italy, and there rediscover the meaning of love. I had the opportunity to make several of the costumes, as well as work backstage taking care of the wigs. The costumes for this show were absolutely beautiful, because the show is set in the 20's.

Some beauty shots:

It was a lot of fun to work on this show. I got to learn how to make a proper Edwardian corset (and now I want to make one for myself. Go figure.), and I did A LOT of Magic Hemming (magic hem is a type of hem for loose, flowy fabrics that makes them look nice and neat, but it takes a long time.)

Some of the wigs:

Al'Italia!
