Costumes, Accessories, Props, and Stage Illusions Made Easy
Over 100 costume designs with photos and diagrams
Barb Rogers’ creativity rises to new levels in her latest book, which takes her concept of conversion costuming and also applies it to accessories, props, and illusion costumes. While still dedicating a complete section to costuming, you’ll especially love learning how to accessorize your show without starting from scratch: hats and headpieces, masks, wings, jewelry, and much more. The props section covers armor, thrones, dinnerware, Native American props, and more. Finally, you’ll love how her simple creativity can allow you to create illusions such as a head on a platter or a person riding a spider!
(216 pages, 8½ x 11, paperback, ISBN: 978-1-56608-103-0)
Costuming Made Easy
How to make theatrical costumes from cast-off clothing
Barb Rogers claims that anyone should be able to make a wonderful costume using her method of conversion costuming. With the secrets she shares in this book, you don’t have to go through the work of making costumes from scratch. Instead, create fabulous, unique costumes for your needs with very little money, time, or expertise. You just need an imagination and the willingness to hunt the thrift shops, garage sales, and discount stores for that perfect item you can convert into a costume. To help you, this book includes over 100 costume designs with photos and diagrams for standard theatrical characters such as princes, princesses, clowns, witches, elves, medieval ladies, cowgirls, and colonial men and women. In addition, this valuable text provides complete costume guides for a dozen Broadway classics, including Annie Get Your Gun, The King and I, Pirates of Penzance, and My Fair Lady. If your motto is “never sew if you don’t have to,” you’ll love this book!
