Measure for Measure: Costume



My costume consisted of a large orange hoodie and a pair of orange dungarees with black pumps and tinted sunglasses, and a cross around my neck. Originally, I was set to wear dirty blue jeans, but the dungarees were judged to be more fitting. 

The costume was well designed, as it worked for both it's purposes. Firstly, it covered most of my face and body, meaning I was well disguised as the friar, and I could also easily switch out with the other actors playing the duke. It also did well to transform the character of the friar into a raver in disguise, as the hoodie and dungarees were similar to both the outfits of the time and a monk's habit. the orange was close to the traditional brown but more gaudy, a common theme of the time.
