Costume Materials

Costume designers hire and create the costumes for all actors in a production, they are required to make sure the actors' costumes enhance the portrayal of the time period/location in the production.
There is an option of having costumes produced in house, which is within the production team, as it is less time consuming and possibly cheaper.

Costume designers are required to have a wide knowledge and experience of designing and working with different textiles. 

Having creative design skills, working effectively in teams and the knowledge of different fashion periods as well as the willingness to research more into history is essential for this role in order for the production's interpretation of the story to be as accurate as possible.
