Seussical The Musical!!

It's the name of my school's spring play.

Before I explain it, just let me say how incredibly, super duper, mo' fuggin' excited I am!! One of my friend's told my Chem teacher that I sew. Well she happens to be in charge of the production crew. And she asked that if I want, if I could pleeease do the costumes for the play.

Umm, HELL YEAH!!! Eeep! ^_^

The play is as you might have guessed, about Dr. Seuss. It's all of his stories rolled into one big musical! Shall be quite ahh-mazin'!

The first thing I have to make are 3 sport coats for guys. My teacher gave me free reign and is letting me do them how I want as long as they look Dr. Seuess-esque and I keep the cost for the coats under $100.

Anyone have any ideas on how to seuess them up? Colors, trims, fabric choice, decorations?

Well it would help to know what stories the coats are going to be used for.

But in general I would make the coat exaggerated in length or maybe with a long coat tail. Crazy huge buttons and the lining of the coat a crazy colored pattern that people can see.


But because you have to stay under $100 maybe go to the goodwill or thrift shops get a few there and then just make the changes to make them more 'Dr.Seuess-esque'.

Oh, sounds so fun! Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton did Seussical...let's see if I can find a linkie.....
