Multiple Characters From A Single Costume
Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 8:27 pm
Being Scottish like MacPhantom, I like to make my money go a long ways.
Regarding costumes, I try to get multiple characters from one outfit by simply adding or subtracking acessories.
Just about my favorite costume is that of George Washington.
With an extra pair of knee breeches, wigs and acessories I was able to create Ichabod Crane and A Colonial Party Gentlemen from good ole George.

The costume that is the most fun of all is that of Charley's Aunt from the play and the film.
From that I was able to create an elderly grandmother.

As far as musicians are concerned a new wig and a change of tight knee breeches brought about Johann S. Bach from W. A. Mozart

And last but not least from a French Aristocrat came The Vampire Lestat.

I don't know if I have any other costumes that I can do this with.
I would think that the Warlock is pretty much set but may be able to create another character from The Ugly Duchess outfit.
This way I can get more characters for less outlay.
Thought that I would share this with you.
