Kiss me Kate 2006

I finally found a use for the vintage 30's silk lounge wear. It was a little early in period for the show, but it had such lovely lines that could not be replicated I had her wear it. Unfortunately we had to repair it several times. The thing I was proudest of was Petruchio's hat. I had some wonderful cut velvet and I adapted a Simplicity pattern to create it. It turned out quite nice and he really liked it. I may use it in this years production of Lagooned for one of the pirates... we shall have to see

I think this was Maddie's favorite of all the dances in the show. The last picture is of Maddie's boyfriend at the time. I must have watched him 10 times wondering what was wrong with his costume until I finally figured out that he was wearing a belt with his suspenders. Sometimes you forget that kids just have no idea how clothing was worn. I never did get a picture of him after he fixed the look. It is too bad since it made an amazing difference.

Maddie played Bianca in this production and Puck and I were only peripherally involved as parents. I found Maddie's 20th's century costumes and made headdresses for all the ladies. It was a very fun show though and one of Maddie's favorites
