to amateurs up and down the country. We hand dyed the fabrics
to give a range of soft earthy colours and the effect under lights
was glorious, almost like a painting. The Copacabana costumes
were also very popular, appealing to the glamorous end of the
market.
Of course Christmas is always fun as it brings a huge selection
of Dame’s costumes, particularly fun for me on the wigs and
hats.
On the more unusual front, we created 65 flying nuns for an
opera group and an underwater snake (which we tested in our
local swimming pool!) for a group of synchronised swimmers.
What does 2013 hold in store?
We are currently designing for a variety of professional and
amateur pantomimes and our own Christmas Spectacular,
(produced by our in-house company “The Glad Rag Production
Company”). As with last year, we hope to have costumes on the
stages of over a dozen venues throughout the UK. Today, we
were fitting a 6ft.4in. Dame and tomorrow we’re making Elf
costumes, so Christmas is never very far away in the world of
Carry On Costumes!
