WORLD COSTUME FOR THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS

[theotherjohn]

An overview and sketchbook of world costumes has recently been published by Aleyvan Radhome. Drawing upon her experience as the costumer for the Allace Players in Ubl, Miss Radhome has combined careful research and a keen eye for detail to produce a text that should prove invaluable to those in the theatrical world and beyond. She is equally deft at describing familiar garb - such as that of the Dwarves or of our own Empire - as she is at explaining the unusual items worn by far-flung and exotic races. Although she introduces a number of technical terms for the garments portrayed, her style remains accessible and clear. The accompanying sketches, though simple, are very helpful when it comes to understanding the more foreign traditions.
