I was the only costume assistant on this show. This was a much bigger production than ‘Love Steals Us from Loneliness’, so I had to be very organised and communicative. I also had to make ten tunics for the opening of the show. This was a useful project because it required many long days to get everything ready on time. It was also a very useful experience, providing me with the opportunity to master both time management and sewing under pressure.
Sourcing online
Sourcing was a very important part of Mad Margot. Since we weren’t hiring anything and there wasn’t much in our university’s wardrobe, about 80% of the costume items were bought on ‘Vinted’. This meant we could save a lot of money for the 20 contemporary costumes.

An amazing find
2 of the characters on Mad Margot, Dyer and Alfie, worked at Lidl and had to wear Lidl uniforms. Luckily, we found the uniforms on Vinted and it ended up adding a comic effect to the play and the scene where the actors wore this particular costumes.
Sourcing in town
After we found everything we could’ve on Vinted, just before tech week, I made one final town trip to find the rest of the costumes. I send photos to Llew and he approved what to buy.
