Hacker and Dodge Costumes

 

 

We were given a worked related small project to create costumes for the CBBC puppets Hacker and Dodge. I chose to make pirate outfit because everyone likes them. Ureh? I had to make these simple design and easy to attach on for example using velcro. I researched many images of pirate costumes that would be easy to construct and appealing to the audience.

I designed to that Dodge (top right) should be the crew member. I used a distessing technique by dipping white cotton in to tea dye to make it look worn and added brown leather to the outfit.

This Captain costume was made for Hacker (top left). I tried to make this very like a pirates costume with frills in the front, big cuffs, pleats in the side seams, golden buttons and shoulder pads for a pirate to rest on.

I did find i difficult but I am proud with the end result.

In Second Year's Exhibition my Tinker Bell Costume was displayed next to the stairs alongside the Peter Pan characters Hook, Tiger Lili and of course Peter. I felt honoured.

Had a full day of fun out in the cold at Hartlepool, Marine quay with my fellow class mates from uni at the Diamond Jubliee Festival dressed in costumes also being in character (some of the time anyway).
