From the Costume Room

A selection of gowns, transformations, and theatrical pieces — each one built to be worn, moved in, and remembered.

Featured Project

Cinderella’s Transformation Dresses

At the stroke of magic, a simple dress becomes a ball gown — in full view of the audience. Susan designed and sewed Cinderella’s transformation dresses for the Quincy High School stage, built to change in seconds, night after night.
