Keeping that in mind, I tried to look for costumes that will be easier to recreate successfully.

The female character costumes are very detailed and I will need to make specific costume pieces to include the details. Unfortunately, although I looked through thrift stores and the costume room, I was not able to find the exact, or even similar pieces for some of the iconic costumes (Cher's yellow/black plaid suits, Dionne's hat, etc). My main costume ideas were the more simple costumes, because I knew they would be much easier to find. However, I really did want to include the signature outfits, but just wasn't able to. I also decided to sketch each design for the main characters, to have a better idea of what it would look like. I tried incorporating as much plaid as possible, to pay tribute to some of the most well known costumes. 
Here are the costume designs for the 4 main characters.]]> 2017-05-05 01:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/070167598/Clueless/wish/170080197 070167598 https://padlet.com/070167598/Clueless/wish/170284719 Cher, Dionne and Janet Huang's outfits, completed and finished ]]> 2017-05-06 02:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/070167598/Clueless/wish/170284719 070167598 https://padlet.com/070167598/Clueless/wish/170396797 When I was first assigned my production role, I decided to be in charge of all female costumes. I then found inspiration online for Clueless costumes.]]> 2017-05-07 23:28:40 UTC https://padlet.com/070167598/Clueless/wish/170396797 070167598 https://padlet.com/070167598/Clueless/wish/170398494 Although I could not see every cast member's outfit. I had mine and I made sure everyone had the right costume pieces. However, I tried considering the lightning fast costume changes and how it would be impossible to change an entire outfit while in the wings.  So instead of having two outfits, I decided to scrap the white dress idea. Instead I decided to swap it with a white/grey zip up skirt that I can put over the plaid skirt. 
I also had to chance the design of Dionne's costume because we were not able to find a plaid shirt to wear underneath of the dress

However, on the night of the performance I found the perfect skirt for Dionne's second outfit. Jodie (the actress playing Dionne) was able to find a maroon dress and put a white blouse underneath it. Tai's outfits were in order and we had a perfect transition for her makeover scene. Cher's outfits were also changed a bit in order to work with the snap costume changes. The actress wore a dress as her first layer, with a cardigan, and a skirt right over it. For the first party scene I paired her outfit with a over sized jean jacket. For the final scene of the party, she stripped away the jean jacket, cardigan and the skirt to reveal the white dress. ]]> 2017-05-07 23:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/070167598/Clueless/wish/170398494
