Creative Costuming with Adele Sciortino

Our club invited Adele Sciortino to teach our 2010 Spring Workshop -- Creative Costuming.

The middle of the room was piled high with gorgeous fabrics -- slinky, silky, shimmery material with velvets and brocades and... And then there were the ribbons!

Adele brought the most sumptuous ribbons to sell. It would have been hard NOT to make a beautiful costume with all this to choose from.

This is a partial sampling of the techniques we would learn during the class.  A lot of them were about manipulating ribbon and material, and how to create different effects with them.
