The Merry Wives Of Windsor

Colorado Shakespeare Festival 2024

Costume Designer: Sarah Zinn

Draper: Sally Rath

First Hand: Andy Bruening

Stitchers: Kalyn Diercks, Emma Kauffman

My duties for this show were to cut all the garments that were to be built by the shop. Once that was done, I was tasked with draping, cutting and stitching body padding for our Falstaff understudy.

With the actors measurements, I successfully padded a dress form his size.

I learned the Kawashima Men's Pattern Drafting system to create the stretch mesh body sloper that would be the base for the body padding.
