    It's only after you see all the work and heart put into things like costume design that you start appreciating it (or at least in my case) sometimes things you take for granted are such a complex and beautiful part of an all.

    All broadway costumes are in a sense practically custom Coutoure garments. And what’s even more crazy is how much collaboration, and evolving goes into costuming a show. It’s a huge part of a show because costumes are one of the many cogs in the machine of bringing a show from idea to reality.

    I'm going to go to college for costume design I hope. I really love it, and it seems the most amazing of all the parts of a production because your art is put into another amazing art and no one ever has to know it's you who made the visuals complete:) (unless they really, really care, I guess)

    As someone who has recreated the Think of Me dress from both the movie and broadway versions, the Broadway version weighs so much because the weight of the fabric plus the beads and the lace and details weigh it down so much that its basically a workout just trying to get from one end of the convention hall to another in 4 inch heels and a corset and heavy petticoats underneath and still be able to sing opera for the contest is just hard work.
