Inhaltsangabe

Why spend a small fortune to rent expensive period costumes when you can create them yourself for less than a day’s rental price? Make them the easy way from cast-off clothing... without sewing! This valuable resource presents the concept of "conversion costuming." The first rule of thumb is that you must put aside your preconceived ideas about how to make a costume. The world of conversion costuming is miles away from fabrics, measuring, pinning, cutting, and sewing. The most important tool you need is your imagination. To help you, this book includes over 65 ingenious costumes designs with photos and diagrams for many periods from Egyptian, Greek, and Roman all the way to Punk. These conversion costuming ideas will save you time, money, and deadline disasters and give you precisely the costume you want. From ’20s to ’80s to Old West to Renaissance, put aside the boring and mundane part of costuming and go right to the exciting and creative part!

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

For a time, Barb Rogers haunted thrift shops, rummage sales, and auctions to find old clothes that could be converted into costumes and sold. Not a seamstress, unable to use a pattern, and without a sewing machine, she developed her unique way of designing costumes. Broadway Bazaar Costumes was born in one upstairs room, on the main street of Mattoon, Illinois, with 130 costumes and Barb's burning desire to succeed. It had grown to fifteen rooms of fun, fabulous, dazzling costumes within five years. A member of the National Costumers Association, Barb attended national conventions, competed with costumers from all over the U.S., and won many awards. But after ten years in business, she was brought down by a severe illness. Always the survivor and eternal optimist but unable to continue running the shop, she leased it out and found her second love: writing. Barb, her husband Junior, and their two dogs, Sammi and Georgie, relocated to a small mountain community in Arizona, where she could heal and write. In addition to her costuming books, Barb published several other books. She always held on to costuming as her first love. Barb died in 2011.
