Costume Database

Caring for costumes

An accurate database helps keep track of all costumes, props and accessories, ensuring nothing gets lost or misplaced. Junior studio art major Sadie MacDonald worked with theatre professor Mary Wayne-Thomas to create an online database that catalogs and documents the historic garment collection of the theater department. “The research fueled my interest in discovering a future career related to the arts, in curating and learning more about historical aspects of fashion and the construction of garments, and the importance of costume design in theater productions,” MacDonald said.
