Costume people are always saying they don't have clothes big enough for me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Costume is a massive thing. I think costume makes you stand differently.
I'm not the typical dress size - being a model just isn't how I think of myself.
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
Though designed as a mere convenience, clothing sizes establish an unintended norm, an ideal from which deviations seem like flaws. There's nothing like a trip to the dressing room to convince a woman - fat, thin, or in between - that she's a freak.
Costume is a huge part of getting into character. Your body soaks in what you're wearing, and you turn into someone else.
I don't think that I could fit into the costume anymore.
One thing about costume design - and I think design in general - but especially costume design, is people have a misconception that it's very glamorous work.
From shoes that are a size too small to a dress that doesn't fit quite right, there are incredible pieces in most wardrobes that have never been worn.
In the beginning, when you're acting in amateur theater and off-Broadway, it was unheard of that anyone else would get your costume. And it was important to get a good costume. You put time into that.
I used to always buy clothes too big, but I should have showed off instead of covering up.
