The Costume Supervisor’s Toolkit cover

The Costume Supervisor’s Toolkit explores the responsibilities of a Costume Supervisor within a theatrical, opera or dance production company. Rebecca Pride provides an insight into all manner of processes, beginning with a definition of the role, and offers explanations of the timeline from the first design meetings, leading all the way up to managing fittings and final rehearsals. This how-to guide outlines best working practices, including building a team and creating a Costume Bible, whilst also providing helpful resources such as sizing guides, a list of useful addresses, and case studies from renowned theatrical organizations.

Pride’s research and development of the book is not only exceptionally thorough, but accurate and relevant to the role of costume supervisor. As a practical guide, the book takes a detailed, logical approach to exploring and clarifying the role of the costume supervisor in the theatrical costume production process. By using a methodology based on comprehensive interviews with working practitioners, Pride has ensured that the information presented is based on the experiences of working practitioners at the top of their profession.
