The Gift of The Magi
Designer, Stitcher
The Gift of the Magi tells a story of love for one couple learning the true gift of Christmas. I chose to incorporated lace into Della’s costume and a tied scarf on Jim to represent a gift trimmed in lace and bows. They soon find out the true gift of Christmas is each other, not the shiny things in life.
Because this show was double cast with women of different sizes I decided to construct different blouses to match the skirts for each.

Wigs posed a challenge in this production. Della chooses to cut off and sell her hair in order to pay for her husband’s gift. There were only a few measures of music to change her from her natural long hair to a short wig also matched to her color. The show was double cast including women with different hair colors.
