costumes 👕👖

What costumes are/ How they add to plays:
Costumes are a set of clothes in a style typical of a particular country or historical period. Costumes help the actors in a play to portray their character throughout the play.

Why am I interested in costumes:
I'm doing costumes because you can be creative with the way you make them and I like the way they look on people I especially like the costume in Grease and Hairspray because they are funky, bright and have a lot of different patterns on them.
