Through their website, I found many helpful links into the company history and running of all its different departments. For my bibliography, the site is: http://www.nationaltheatre.org/ .uk in the Discover section.
The costume design for theatre video documentaries provide a brief but useful insight into what I should consider when presenting my character in costume. The department consists of tailors, dressers, maintenance, dyers and a costume prop maker. The designs for much of the finished costumes are provided by freelancers who know the director and may have previously worked for the in-house people at the National theatre. These designers often request drawings of the set their work will be placed into context. They will then research the period and similar style clothing that fits the brief to include in a mood board. Less designers present drawn images as those who produce computer drawn designs and ideas that can be further developed. It is then up to the in-house team to plan the work-load across the department and provide feedback to the designer. The designer featured in the video insists that the finished costume should be a fully finished garment that looks worn and suited to the character.
