Costume design student Liz McGlone says that regardless of the budget, cast size, genre, or directing style, “the steps that designers take to costume a show are often the same: research, sketch, find, buy, or build the costumes, and fit them to the actors.” For "Troilus and Cressida," Liz’s research focused on ancient, tribal societies with prevalent female warriors. From there, as the photos show, Liz amalgamated the design of a soldier’s costume, sketched it, found some creative materials, and built it.
