Dances, theater and various shows are firmly entrenched in the life of every person. Spectators, being on the show, evaluate not only the actors' play, but also their image. The stage costume helps to reveal it most widely.
Scope and main tasks
The costume can be sewn for both individual performance and group. You can see it in the following moments:
- Theatre.
- Dance.
- Promotions and costumes.
- Strip show.
- Sport competitions. Rhythmic gymnastics and figure skating.
Stage costume plays an important role and helps to complement the image. It solves the following tasks:
- With its help, you can most widely reveal the nature.
- Changes the figure and appearance of the character depending on the desired situation.
- Helps to create the necessary time, era, its style and location.
- It is an important part for expressing the inner world in a film or performance.

Let us consider more carefully the theatrical costume, without which not a single performance is complete. Performances as well as films have firmly won their place in modern cultural life.
Theater outfit
A stage costume is not only clothes, but also makeup, shoes, accessories, and a hairstyle. Only together they complement each other and most fully reveal the image. In the productions, the costume conveys the internal state, helps to understand what the hero has just done or is going to accomplish.
Even before the start of the play or the filming of the film, the artist creates sketches. They are formed depending on the idea, the director’s intention, the style of production and the character of the character. Subsequently, the sketches will help the actor brighter to convey the smallest nuances of the hero: his gait, manner of dressing, facial expressions and even the setting of his head.
An improperly selected stage costume does not fulfill its direct responsibility, and also creates a lot of inconvenience. He breaks, clings to the surrounding scenery, makes the actor distracted from the game and does not completely enter the role.
Also, thanks to the costume, the viewer instantly determines the social status of the hero. He unmistakably recognizes a rich nobleman, a simple worker, military or teacher.
Sewing stage costumes
In addition to theatrical art, clothing in dance performances is very popular. Due to widespread prevalence and demand, huge competition has arisen. Indeed, in order to win the audience, it is not enough to provide a simple dance, it is necessary to carry out a real show. Therefore, stage costumes that create amazing and amazing images play such a big role.
There are many different types of dance, as well as its styles. For them, projects are created that help to reveal the individual world and character.

- Ballroom dance. Beauty prevails here. A beautiful ball gown is a successful backlog for a dancing couple. It should be elegant and graceful. The stage costume is decorated with rhinestones, fringe or feathers.
- Gypsy dance. When sewing such a suit, a tabor outfit prevails. Bright fabrics are used that help to draw various cabins and tents in the imagination.
