Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up-Rogers transforms everyday clothing into magical costumes with simple tools such as scissors, glue guns, and paint. In addition, there are chapters on how to make hats, gloves, armor, and animal heads, as well as other props and accessories from rummage-sale finds and a little imagination. All are accompanied by numbered directions, line drawings, and black-and-white photos, although novice costumers may find some of the directions too brief or obtuse. Still, this is a useful volume for schools and community theaters with little or no budgets for costumes and props. A listing of costume and accessories companies and a handy index subdivided by type of costume, prop, or accessory are appended.-Betty S. Evans, Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield

A perfect reference for beginning productions at any age level,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Costumes, Accessories, Props, and Stage Illusions Made Easy (Paperback)
Usually Meriwether's fine guides are aimed to kids and young adult - but Costumes, Accessories, Props And Stage Illusions Made Easy is too important to limit to teens alone: it offers any aspiring stage crew the tools needed to create quality stages and dramatic acts. Chapters cover all aspects of making costumes and scenes, and will prove a perfect reference for beginning productions at any age level.

Good costume book,
By Willow (Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Costumes, Accessories, Props, and Stage Illusions Made Easy (Paperback)
This is an innovative look at making costumes. Very clear instructions. Very doable. I just wish it had color pictures. Still, it's a great book.
