Sheila Jackson Bücher

Focusing on simplicity in costume design, the updated edition offers practical guidance for various theatrical periods, from Greek plays to modern productions. Sheila Jackson includes illustrations of basic shapes, along with detailed drawings, diagrams, and patterns for designers to utilize. Covering a wide range of styles, the book addresses costumes from medieval times, Shakespearean works, and the Victorian era, to the fashion of the twenties and thirties, making it an essential resource for costume designers.

In this second lively handbook, Sheila Jackson, former Head of Costume for London Weekend Television and costume designer for Upstairs, Downstairs, breaks new ground with her common sense sections on animal and bird costumes, musicals and dance, ethnic costume, head dresses and accessories.
