DRESSER'S KIT LIST
Whilst still a student, or when you first graduate, dressing is a great first step into the industry. We have put together this list of what you are expected to have with you in your kit as a dresser, and a few things that are useful additions.
What your should have:
-
Dressing bumbag - or really whatever you find easiest to carry your stuff in, but remember to keep it black!
-
Head torch - especially useful for helping with shoe buckles and jewellery fastenings in dark corners.
-
Shoe horn
-
Snips/Small scissors
-
Safety pins (various sizes) - most wardrobe teams will have a stash that you can grab a handful of if needed.
-
Sewing needles
-
Thread - black, white and grey will usually cover most eventualities!
-
Small notepad/paper and a pen - good for making your own notes on your dressing plot, and for keeping track on any repairs you need to pass on to wardrobe.
Useful Additions

Lighter - great for fraying elastic laces!
