This project is an account of the process of designing the costumes for San Diego State University's Spring 2011 production of Little Women the Musical. It follows the design process from the initial reading of the script through the fitting and building process to the completion of the costumes and opening of the show. It will discuss the importance of the costume design to set time and place for this production due to the stylized nature of the set. This project covers the challenges of bringing a production to the stage and the collaborative process with the directors, performers, and other members of the design and production team.
