I was brought onto the the team for White Christmas at Shawnee Mission Theatre in the Park in Shawnee, Kansas to design and construct these bell-shaped costumes for the characters Rita and Rhoda. I used hula hoops and ribbon to create the base structures and decorated them with all sorts of holiday decorations. To top it off, I whipped up some custom golden snowflake fascinators!
