This work is from my final year project of the original story of Beauty and the Beast, circa 1740. I wanted to design and make my costumes in the period they were originally intended, however I did this with a sustainable twist. by using only second-hand and recycled materials such as curtains, bed sheets and table cloths, I was able to create elaborate where necessary 18th century costumes whilst reducing textile industry waste. In the future I plan to enter to costume making profession and hopefully still integrate some aspects of sustainability within my work.
