The classic
story of The Wind in the Willows is a great choice for school productions, with
several colourful characters and a large cast of little animals.
We are
delighted to have put together a wonderful 20s style set of bespoke costumes
for students ranging in age from 9-14, who are putting on this popular show at their
school.
The brief
was to make the animals as human as possible with tails and ears just poking through
suitable costumes for the period.
For Toad we
chose red tartan trousers with bright green shirt and waistcoat with a striped
boating jacket and boater for his trips out on the river. He also has a
washerwoman disguise which slips easily over the tartan trousers.
Ratty has a
bright striped boating jacket and boater with ears attached, Mole a checked
shirt and worn dungarees and Badger is in black and white with a fur collar and
trilby.
The
rabbits, squirrels and mice we put into pretty little floral or gingham dresses
with tails and ears attached. The boys have dungarees and checked shirts.
Chief
weasel has a bowler hat and tweed jacket, whilst his gang have breeches and
waistcoats.
We love
putting together costume sets like these for our customers and Wind in The
Willows has got to be a favourite.
