The Divines' costumes were a collaboration between myself as the draper and Wil Crowther, the costume crafts artisan. The three caftans that I bult for the show had to be handed off to Wil for dye treatment once the rayon part was finished. Once will did the ombre and Shibori dye techniques, I got the caftans back and finished applying the sheer inserts. After adding the trim, the caftans were done for their first pass on stage. 

​

After the first night of tech, the director, playwright, and the costume designer decided to pivot in a different direction to give the Divines a more ethereal feeling. The trim was removed and a new beaded overlay was added. It created the image that the director was looking for. 

​

This process was the first time I worked with passing the costume between myself and a dyer. Creating a timeline that the costumes had to stay on so that they could be given back and fourth as need is a newer skill that I had to harness quickly.
