Wednesday was our Costume Parade and it went really well! A lot of the notes were hem related, which is great since I had switched out a few items. It was wonderful to finally see everyone in costume and see the colors come together!
The Do Wops are so bright & I think their looks turned out really well. The 3 girls shirts, bottoms, and scarves were made, along with the guy's shirt. I also bought them colorful headbands, saddle shoes, & ankle socks to pull their looks together. The sweater and textured pants tone down the guy's bright green top, but for a few scenes he takes the sweater off and the shirt really pops. I loved seeing them in their looks. We also added petticoats under the 2 skirt looks for a more full skirt appearance.
The cast will be doing full dress rehearsals starting Monday evening. We'll actually be getting pictures taken Tuesday night, it'll be nice to have some professional shots instead of my meh looking ones. The idea is to get some great pictures and have then in the lobby of the theater but in black and white. It's to show how it would look on TV since the show is set as if it was being filmed on a TV studio - hence the cray wonderful colors in set & costumes. Once I have better pictures I will post them with details.
I do have a few small sewing projects to finish before Monday. I'm adding a pocket to the inside of a jacket, fixing the waistband on a crinoline, adding 2 darts to a Do Wop blouse, fixing an apron, and then styling the 2 wigs I'm using for the show. So really not too bad for a weekend. I'm hoping to get everything but the wigs done before my Production Meeting this evening. Then I'll just bring the wigs to the show's dress rehearsal Monday night. Not too shabby at all!
