A closer look behind the scenes of film making and media science reveals that the costumes used in film productions are products of a complex construction process. The costume designer has to put a lot of creative and investigative effort into the creation of costumes to provide the right clothes for a particular role, which means the costume reflects the place and time of play as well as it shows understanding of the characteristics of the role, actor and screenplay overall.

How do I choose the right size of winter clothing? Early Winter/Early Spring Season (October – December 01; March 15 – April 01) Select the size you normally wear. If you wear a medium jacket, then order the same size parka, the same general theory applies for all of the articles of clothing. For example. If you wear a small glove, then choose a small mitt. Winter Season(December – March 14) Select one size larger in a parka then you normally wear. For example: If you wear a size Ladies Medium, suggest you choose a size Large. This allow for more airspace that will keep you warm and allow for additional layer (warm sweater or fleece) Boots: Come in full sizes only.

  • Munsingwear" Still Alive in 1894 When Munsing Left to Pursue a Career As an Inventor
    MH f/ QCO ccz!" ODO ILU-I KATIMES.COM , When your underwear is in a bundle, creeping and crawling where it does not belong, the discomfort can have a significant impact on the quality of your day. Hence, the quest for perfect-fitting undergarments. Admittedly, even our worst options today are far superior to the loin cloths, corsets and wool union suits our ancestors had to wear. George D. AAunsing understood the importance of comfort, and he initiated a huge leap forward in the underwear department during the late 1800s. Among his numerous patents involving knitting, sewing and crocheting machines, his most famous involved an itchless wool union suit and better-fitting undershirts and underpants. The company he helped found, which eventually became known as AAunsingwear, was part of the fabric of Minneapolis history for more than 100 years. Here's a brief "under-view" of some of the more colorful swatches of AAunsingwear history. ///////////////////////////^^^^ company couldn't keep up with demand.

  • What to Pack for Winter in Alaska
    WHAT TO PACK FOR WINTER IN ALASKA Developing a winter clothing system As you will be outdoors every day it is important to have the right clothing and footwear with you. Choosing the proper gear will make your winter trip more enjoyable. Your clothing must work as a system that wicks away perspiration, insulates you from the cold and protects you from the wind. The preferred system is made up of several layers. This allows you to easily adjust your clothing to changes in the weather and changes in your heat output. The following are suggestions for your Winter Alaska trip. The First layer or Base layer Clothing next to your skin must wick perspiration away from your skin to keep you dry and warm. Capilene is excellent. Polypropylene is good. Wool or cotton are inappropriate as they are poor wicking layers. The Second layer (or layers) This layer provides insulation and retain your body heat without restricting movement. Pile, polar fleece, and synchilla are great. Wool is heavier and will hold moisture longer but maintains most of its insulating ability even when wet. The Third layer This offers extra insulation. A down filled parka or thinsulate are good examples. Some down filled parkas can be used as outer layer if they are water repellent. A down filled parka with insulated hood will keep you warm & toasty. The Fourth layer or outer layer This must offer protection from the wind, rain and snow. The more wind proof often is the less breathable. Goretex is a good choice as it is very windproof.
