What is a Costume Supervisor?<\/strong>
\nCostume Supervisors support the Costume Designer.\u00a0Costume Designers play their role by, designing, creating, buying or hiring all the costumes to be worn by the cast. As a result, it is not often that the Costume Designer has time to be on set. This is where the Costume Supervisor comes in.<\/p>\n

During pre-production, Costume Designers<\/a> go through scripts to identify the characters and the relative pieces of clothing, taking into account the level of emphasis they want to put on a specific character and developing a costume which fits their emotional status. Ordinarily, the Costume Supervisor will assist with and help create a catalogue which details which costume will be required for each scene.<\/p>\n

The Costume Supervisor represents the Costume Designer on set. While Costume Designers are usually present on set each time a new costume is worn, it is invariably the Costumer Supervisor who is responsible for overseeing the wear of pieces. This includes ensuring all costumes are ready for filming on each day, and that the pieces are maintained for continuity purposes. Costume Supervisors further delegate to Costume Dressers to ensure design integrity is maintained.<\/p>\n

Once hired costumes are no longer needed the Costume Supervisor is responsible for seeing that costumes, accessories and such like are all returned. On larger productions, this duty is usually delegated to Costume Assistants.<\/p>\n
