The Home Show: Maggie’s outfit

I’ve just finished a charming commission: costumes for a piece of musical theatre called Home: Weaving Scottish Songs into a New Zealand War The show tells the story of two Scottish immigrants, Maggie and Johnnie, over the course of World War I, through traditional Scottish folk songs. And best of all, for me, they wanted reasonably historically accurate costumes! Here is a sneak peek at Maggie’s costume: My design sketch: And the reality: I’ll post about the costume in detail in a few days.  And show you Johnnies costume! If you are in Hamilton, Auckland or Waipu over the next week do go see the show: Hamilton Garden Arts Festival (English Flower Garden) Mon 20, Tues 21, Wed 22 February at 6pm Titirangi Theatre, Lopdell House, 418 Titirangi Road, Auckland Fri 24, Sat 25 February at 8pm Waipu Coronation Hall, 47 The Centre, Waipu Sun 26 February at 4pm
