This book is geared towards costume designing as a profession. It doesn't have many pictures of costumes or much information about making costumes. If you want to know how to budget for plays, set up a workroom or deal with places that supply costumers, then this book is for you. If you wanted to learn how to make costumes, then look elsewhere.
