Blue Stockings Behind the Scenes : Wardrobe

As a group we are so incredibly lucky to have a vast wardrobe of costumes capable of supporting period plays as well as pantos.


Fiona Smith and her wonderful team - Audrey Spence,  Zoe Galbraith, Jean Sinclair and Martine Hall - ensured we were always properly dressed for our parts, that everything fitted properly, costume changes went smoothly and were still able to make running repairs as necessary (there were some energetic scenes which tested the fabric of some old costumes!).


Both this costume worn by Caroline (Juliet Mullay) and the one above (worn by Mandy Phillips) are extremely old, having been made in Edinburgh and so full of material are extremely heavy to wear.
