Posted by Belle Alternately look in charity shops/thrift stores, but they tend to be fairly heavy on the granny outfits, less on the funky teenage stuff. Also, a lot of 80s style stuff has come back into fashion recently- do some research, if you can, find some teen magazines from the 80s and work from pics in there, and modify high street clothes. As for characters- it really helps your audience remember the principals if their costumes are predominantly a single colour- ie. Carmen in red. Different red outfits in differene scenes if you've a lot of costume changes, but stick with one colour. Then get the Ensemble in mixed colours... they'll look just as good, but won't stand out as much as the principals. ###Belle### --Previous Message--
