In all the costume shops I have worked in, we either use 1/2" or 1", depending on the project. Usually because the two allow the most possibility for taking in or letting out seams as needed.
Although it would be fun to have our own section of forum (as a costumer), I am kind of used to being outside the loop when it comes to the technical side of theatre; being hidden in the basements or completely different buildings to work can do that to a person. Luckily, I'm not shy and often...
This seemed like the forum to make an appropriate first post.
Hello, all! I am new to controlbooth, I was referred here by the welder of our scenics department for the summer theatre program I am working in.
Looking forward to meeting many of you and learning new and interesting things.
