Costume Textiles

Costume textiles refer to fabrics and materials used to create clothing or accessories for theatrical, film, or performance purposes. These textiles are selected for their appearance, texture, and durability, helping to bring characters and stories to life. They encompass a wide range of materials, from traditional fabrics like silk and cotton to specialized or decorative textiles such as brocade, velvet, or faux fur. The choice of costume textiles plays a key role in defining a character’s identity, era, or setting, and skilled costume designers consider factors like comfort, movement, and visual impact when selecting these materials.
