Oops, forgot to say that they weren't usually historically accurate
costumes, just giving the impression of period (like using zippers, gathers
instead of cartridge pleats, etc.)

Yes! Theatre is nutts!  We've had shows with less lead time!  That's when 
you pull in everyone you know, and even some you don't, you work 18+hour 
days, no days off, and you collapse at the end, hating the show, and never 
wanting to ever see the designer again!

Yes, that was a big run on sentence.  That's what life in the theatre is 
like...I don't go there any more! And don't ever think I like musicals, or 
ever want to listen to one...BLECH!

Kelly

ps: Good Luck!
