A costume maker is an individual who designs and makes costumes for movies, TV shows, and stage productions. He or she gathers ideas from research, sketches, photographs, mood boards, and rough designs, then develops them into finished garments. This person then presents these ideas to the director, production team, and other parties involved in the production.
A costume maker is also responsible for maintaining inventories of fabric, thread, buttons, zippers, and other costume accessories. The maker may also have to assess how to reuse or purchase new materials for a production. This information is usually kept on a computerized system. The costume maker may also train support staff to sew costumes. The costume maker is responsible for the overall look of a production, which makes it essential to know how to coordinate different elements of the production.
A bachelor’s degree in costuming is typically required for this position, although it is not strictly necessary. Students can fulfill this requirement through internships and college productions. Internships at local playhouses can also serve as valuable credits. Costume makers may begin their careers as seamstresses or assistant costume makers, then progress to design work.
A degree in costume making can be highly rewarding. In addition to obtaining a degree, costume makers can work as freelancers, juggling their diaries with work opportunities. They can work on anything from mainstream fashion productions to one-off designs for photo shoots.
