Senior First Hand, Harry built the courtly 1910s costumes of Sicilia’s men and sewed alterations on their 1920s looks. As a draper and tailor, Harry worked heavily from historical pattern books called “drafts.”
A passionate costume historian, Clarissa has been a draper at the Costume Shop for fifteen years. With her careful handling of delicate fabrics, Clarissa created the period-specific costumes for Sicilia’s women.
A technical intern, Greta created Perdita’s colorful Bohemia looks. Greta considers her work on The Winter’s Tale to be “an amazing opportunity to do a featured piece.”
