A Working Costume Designer's Guide to Fit explores the concept of
fit in theatrical costumes - what it is, how to assess it, and how
to achieve it. Being able to assess whether a costume fits or not
is a learned skill, which takes practice as well as information
about what the fit standards are for different types of garments.
Filled with detailed step-by-step illustrations, this book provides
all the knowledge readers will need in order to achieve the perfect
fit for their costumes, including: How costumes can support actors
onstage when they fit correctly. How to take measurements and how
to assess them. How to conduct a fitting and what materials are
needed. How to resolve a number of issues that may arise during a
fitting. How to fit a mock-up test garment in preparation for
building a costume from scratch. How to adjust a garment or mock-up
to fit better. Chapters 8-14 also explore different categories of
garments and discuss how to check them against the wearer's
measurements before trying them on, what the standards of fit are
for each category, and how to fit an existing garment. This is an
essential guide for students of Costume Design courses and
professional costume designers of any experience level.
