ABOUT GWEN Gwen Davies, senior, has never worn a store bought costume. Taking inspiration from her theater director mother’s handiwork, she has a huge history of fantastic, detail-filled costumes. “My mom always had me do the easy parts when I was a kid,” Gwen said. “It was as simple as ‘oh, hold this down as the glue dries.’ As I got older, I got a hold of my own glue gun.” Bowls. Vases. Plungers. Gwen expresses how she recycles old products to utilize for her costumes and props. “You walk around in a place full of material ask yourself if you can use any of these shapes,” she said. “Five Below, Dollar Store, thrift stores—it’s just a matter of thinking creatively.”
ABOUT MADELYN Senior Madalyn Martin first discovered her passion for fashion with simple childhood toys like paper dress-up dolls and mini sewing kits gifted to her by family members. “My grandma bought me this little mannequin for doll clothes when I was in first grade where you could make their outfits,” she said. “I loved it so much.” A hobby held dear to her heart, Madalyn expressed that she’ll continue to pave her own way in the world of style, leading her to become a costume designer for the Munster Theatre Company.CLOSET COSTUMES With a few simple stitches and a lot of imagination, any costume can come to life. Madalyn suggests one of the easiest “closet costumes,” or pull-out pieces you could afford to find as simple as your dresser or crafts-bin, to be a dog.“Any kind of animal is pretty easy,” she said. “You just have to buy or make animal ears. I was Snoopy and I just cut two pieces of fabric out for the ears and drew the little nose in.”
