The dress parade took place in the rehearsal studio at the end of a long days rehearsals. This was not ideal but was the most appropriate time in the schedule. The purpose of the parade is for the director to see the finished costume a few days before the dress rehearsals so that any changes which needed to be made could be done so with the time allowed. The dress parade for Tender was essential as the director had not seen any of the costumes during the fitting stage and some of the costumes had been sourced without a design to support the choices. I was quite confident that the activity would go well and that for the costumes which had a design that the director would not pleased.
At this stage the designs become redundant and the costumes take over. The director was interested to see every detail including accessories which surprised me as he had taken little interest up until now. A positive response from the director with little surprise on his part which implied the realisation had lifted off the page. Scene 14 raised a few comments as the additional costumes came under scrutiny but none were rejected and the director seemed pleased that the characters where conveyed well through the costumes choices.
