First Family Entertainment: Season 2011/12: Alterations

Whilst working at FFE I assist construction, alter, maintain and decorate costumes dependent on the character, show and actor. This required either interpreting suggested ideas, or using my own initiative. Below are examples of the range of work I have done for the 2011/12 season.
