Costume Store Research.

I went into the costume store today to do some research into whether any costumes from there can be used for my production. There's not really a lot that could pass for medieval although I have only looked at the costumes that are on campus. My first thoughts are that shoes could be difficult - they must look medieval although from my research I found that they are not hard to make. This could still be an option. I think it's good to see what there is so I am more prepared for the autumn term. Below are a couple of pictures of shoes....

I think I would like the shoes etc to be quite simple as most of the characters in the the cast are not high class. The black ones above are simple and I liked the worn and woven leather look of the yellowish shoes, although I'm not sure what character these would suit. It was good to have a look at what the store has that might be usefull and it's more research I can take forward into the autumn term.
