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.”
