Costumes+and+Makeup

COSTUMES Costumes for our play are set with earth tones and a dull color pallets. Very muted with hardly any white. Using off white to tan in most aprons and coifs. Most costumes are simple lines with simple aprons and no fancy fabrics. As the play progresses the costumes become more dark and dreary. Some become dirty in the jail etc.

I wanted to keep the costumes in their period without having a Thanksgiving day pageant. I wanted no self expression only conformity and restraint in their dress. Makeup is very little to make a natural feel. All wearing black boots of the time period. Judges wearing wigs of grey; dull and dirty.
