Costume design, James and and Giant Peach

James and the Giant Peach was a fun show to design. The director wanted a homespun, childlike, exaggerated feel to the production so there was lots of scope for imaginative work and colorful unusual costumes.

Ladybug a bubbly personality.
I loved making her ruffled underskirt
which had plenty of boning to support the rounded shape.
