LATEST PROJECTS

Titanic 

Corset and Harem Pant Ensemble
​

I created an edwardian corset and ensemble for Cordoza in Emerson's production of Titanic in Spring, 2017. The Corset started with a mock up from an existing pattern, and then it was fitted to the actress and altered accordingly. The ensemble was partly from patterns and partly from drafting. The cutter/draper did the drafting, and I put the piece together from top to bottom including hand-tacking the beaded applique to the base fabric on the bodice and sleeves. 

Ballgown

Chesire Cat Inspired Ballgown (WIP)
​

This gown was inspired by an end of year celebration within my Major at school. The party was themed as "Down the Rabbit Hole", so I took my favorite Alice in Wonderland character and designed this dress. This dress remains a work in progress. 

Pride And Prejudice

Regency Evening Gown
​

This semester's big show was Pride and Prejudice. I worked as the First Hand in the Costume Shop, as well as the Costume Design Assistant. Because Our cutter/draper had to go on leave for this semester, I ended up draping this entire piece myself. I did get some guidance from others in the shop, but otherwise this is entirely my own work. The dress was for Caroline Bingley. I also worked on a corset for Mrs. Bennett.

 

Ensemble

​

1920s Ensemble ​
​

This is a project that I began as a personal challenge. I conducted a lot of research into the clothing of the Roaring Twenties and began to construct a concept. The character that this is for is sweet, kind, and very into the natural world. I tried to marry the more Art Nouveau printed fabric, with a more Art Deco construction style. This is an ongoing project in order to build a wardrobe for this character.
