This image shows Joanne, Bobby, and Sara from NWOSU's production of the musical Company. We chose to set the production in the 1970s which is the period in which it was originally released on Broadway. The suit for the character of Bobby was pulled from our costume shop and matched with images from the period. The dress for JoAnne who is in the black dress with sheer sleeves was designed and built for this show. I based the dress off of images from the period, largely that of the character of Endora on Bewitched. The dress is multi-layered: black satin underneath with a sheer polyester layer gathered over the top. The sleeves bell out, while there is a hand sewn black bead detail at the waist of the dress. I think that this costume is one of the best examples of my work as both a costume designer and as a seamstress. The actress raved about the dress.
