Wardrobe Dresser
As a wardrobe dresser for musicals, I worked on a project basis with Base Entertainment Asia for international productions that tour throughout each year. I have an extensive experience in maintaining costumes. The nature of the job demanded inventive problem solving skills and being able to think on my feet to rectify any wardrobe issues that would occur mid-show (broken heels and ripped costumes are common issues faced). To date I have 28 shows under my belt which includes Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Annie and The Sound of Music.
