Kodak Awards - 'Time- Progress Update - Costumes 3

This week the focus was on obtaining costumes for our upcoming shoot at Arbeia in South Shields. The time period of this sequence is Ancient Rome. A few weeks ago as I discussed in my previous posts, we obtained a Roman soldiers costume from the costume department at CCAD. Below are some more images of that costume.

The challenge was finding something for the roman woman. We opted out of buying a toga online incase it didn't arrive in time. We also opted out of using a bedsheets to make into a womans toga dress as we feared it would be too noticable and too tricky to make in the time we had. Luckily my partner has something perfect for the Roman woman. It is a long white summer dress, and in doing my research I found it is definitely something a roman woman would wear.
