As You Like It

Touchstone and Audrey had a touch of all the colors in the rainbow as part of the concept. I used all different colors of fabric paint to get the camoflague we were going for, for Touchstone.
The six lovers all wore contrasting colors. Shown here were Silvius and Phebe in the country plaid red and green. Rosalind in her country plaid purple and Orlando in contrasting yellow.
Jacques was the darkest of the characters wearing black camo while the rest of the Duke's men wore greens that blended great with the background, which we wanted.
Full cast photo where you can sort of see the contrast of the city people wearing black to the country people in their color and plaids.
the wedding dresses. Phebe in the simple country outfit, Celia's was the most fancy, while Audrey's had flowers and Rosalinds was just plain elegant. I did lots of alterations on the gowns.

This was a modern day setting where the country people who were for the one duke wore camoflague while the city people for Duke Ferdinand wore black. The wrestling match had cheerleaders that wore Team Charles shirts I painted.

These were all costumes that the actors had to be able to dance in, so they were made more like dance costumes. I bought leotards and sewed the skirts and added embellishments.
