Behind the curtain with the costume designer of 'Cymbeline'

Emily Putscher, BC '15 and costume designer for KCST’s spring show "Cymbeline," has managed to squeeze an entire workshop into her half of a double in 600. Her set-up is entirely functional, complete with a dressmaker's dummy and a sewing machine.

That being said, the room looks like a costuming tornado hit it, with a broadsword here, a wig there, some corset making wiring just arrived, and a desk covered in fabric. For this reason, Putscher does most of her costuming work on the floor, which vanishes quite rapidly as more and more stuff begins to pile up.

But for all the costuming work she does for on-campus organizations, Putscher also moonlights as a costume maker for the niche market of cosplay.
