We have an extensive costume stock. In addition to this stock, located around the dressing room are additional fabrics and costume pieces. We also have a sewing machine, a dress form and sewing supplies. If there is a problem with any of these things, please contact one of the costume shop liaisons on the board. Try not to buy things out of your own pocket...it is harder to reimburse you than it is to get a req. Also, costume designers should try to pull their materials and costumes as early in the process as possible. We are the only place that lends out costumes on campus, and we often have requests to borrow our costumes from outside organizations. If we do not know a certain piece is being used, we may lend it out. The costume designer has permission to build on, or take apart existing costumes in stock, but when dealing with hard to find period costumes, he or she should try to do it in a manner that it can be returned to its original shape.
