Teamwork across the College ensures all costumes are completed for our members. We draw on the various skills within each section, and most certainly are happy to further up-skill. Our Tinies age section has a no-sew policy in place.

We have our volunteer Costume Managers who are responsible for the bulk of costuming (ie. making sure each member has a costume that fits them, skirts cut to length on everyone etc.). We also have independent contractors who do the machine work required; this is catered for with each members term fees. You will be responsible for the decorating of individual costumes, which are supported through planned sessions and individual time allocated during classes each week. For those not comfortable with decorating, we do have independent contractors available who can tack, sequin, bead etc. for their fee and you are most welcome to outsource your own. We certainly appreciate all contributions made across costuming, headdresses and props.
