This welcome pack has been created by costume trainees with the help of senior members of the department to
help new entrantsnavigate the industry. Within it you will find useful information and tips on tasks you might be expected to undertake. It includes a costume lingo glossary, sustainable kit ideas as well as other useful things to help you be
as confident as possible in your day-to-day work.
Many new entrants feel unfamiliar with the structure of the costume department and do not feel confident engaging in discussions at work. This can lead to lost opportunities, as they may refrain from sharing ideas because they feel unsure as to who they should address in which situation, for example around environmental practices.
This pack aims to help close the gap and provide support to the next generation of costumiers.
