My job is to create historically accurate costumes that fit into the play's time period and aesthetics. The costumes should be able to convey a character's personality, age, and gender.

Type of production:
Community Theatre

Budget:
$3,500 for the entire ensemble. Considering the simplicity of the fashion worn during the time period of The Crucible, it should be enough to make things work.

After speaking to the director, it has been decided that the play's setting will stay true to the original time period of the late 1600s during the Salem Witch Trials.

Abigail Williams is a teenage girl, only thirteen years old, aiming to capture the attention of John Proctor, a local in her town. She's bold with her actions, doing anything she can to get what she wants. She has a fiery temper, and gets quite fiesty. She's a master of manipulation, going hand in hand with her desire to obtain anything and everything she wants. She is an orphan, having been one since her birth practically, and lives in an orphanage with other girls like her. She's not very high in terms of social or economic status of her town.

John Proctor is close to a perfect man. He is honest, blunt, and urpight. But his single flaw is his affair with Abigail Williams. His affair with her creates conflict within the whole town, and he struggles with confessing his sin. He values his pride and reputation, which creates a conflict within himself.

Elizabeth Proctor is John Proctor's wife. She is caring towards John, but turns cold after finding out about his affair with Abigail. Elizabeth cares deeply for John, but she refuses to give into him, not wanting to accept her husband's soft spot for Abigail. She is harsh, but not heartless.

Abigail would wear a simple linen gown, similar to most of the women in town. Her costume would be simple due to her status as an orphan and due to the conservativity of a woman in Salem.

Due to Abigail's fiery temper, and all of the things she had done, red would be a reflection of her personality. Red can represent passion, which represents her love and want to be with John Proctor. Red, however, signals anger and evil, which is what Abigail is considered as in the Crucible, creating lies to sabatoge the town and doing it out of revenge for John Proctor rejecting her and the affair they had.

Judge Danforth resided over the Salem Witch Trials during the whole duration of the crucible, so he would sport the traditional robes of judges in the Puritan community.

Townswomen of Salem donned a typical linen gown with a bonnet to stay conservative due to their Puritan beliefs. They wouldn't have anything special, as most townswoman were conservative, and women were not allowed to higher quality things due to their gender.

The Crucible takes place in the late 1600s during the Salem Witch Trials. The town of Salem was mainly Puritan in belief, hence their conservativeness in what they were. Colors and silhouettes are used to differentiate characters and their personalities. Colors like blue and red are used to tell the emotions and personality of a person without taking away from the historical accuracy of the costumes.

Elizabeth, after finding out about her husband's affair with abigail, turns her cold against him. She keeps a cold shoulder and an icy attitude, which is represented throught the blue. But the blue also represents her pain and sadness of having to keep her husband away, because she truly loves him, but cannot allow him to have that sweet spot for Abigail which hurts her.
