The Broadway Hipster

Anonymous asked: 'Ey, mademoiselle. :) I wanted to know if p'raps you could let me in on where you find such lovely outfits? I found the Victoria outfit, and I must say, I'm in love. Do you make up the outfits on your own, or do you find them on, say, Google. If you make them up, how? Where do you get the idea? And the clothes? Sorry, I'm just a little confused, and interested. :) I see people do it all the time, and I would like to know how. <3

G’day mate! I make the outfits myself, but I find the clothes on a website named Polyvore. I think of the character’s nature and the usual theatre costume attributes and colours and then find clothes that I think would suit the character from Polyvore. If I haven’t seen the musical, I do a bit of Google research and read the plot of the musical, then look at pictures of the character. Then after I’ve finished the outfit, I put in the quotes and character name and show on picnik (I know), because I find it easiest to use. I think that covers it! Thanks for your interest :D

I’m sorry for being away so long, I’ve been on holiday, and there was no internet :(

I’ll do as many characters as possible in the next week to try and make up for it.

Jane Banks (Mary Poppins)

I’m going to see the Australian production of Mary Poppins on Thursday, so I decided to do a character from it :D
