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! 

• Plasters - Check out the Real Skin Tone Resource page for links to get plasters in a variety of skin tones. 

• Lens cleaner and cloth
