COSTUME SPECS FOR FRIDAY, JAN 15, 2010

AUSTIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

CHILDREN
We would like the children to come in school clothes for these scenes. We are shooting the film as seasonal, so fall/winter clothes are preferred. We understand that children's clothing is typically colorful, but would ask that you bring things that are not too brightly colored. Softer yellows, pale pinks, dark green, navy, burgandy, olive greens. Stripes, plaids and other patterns are good.

We request that the children dress in clothing that is traditionally considered "children's" clothing, rather than miniature versions of adult clothes.

For example, the young ladies in skirts and blouses, dresses or jumpers, cords or khakis for slacks. Cardigan or pullover sweaters, light jackets and long sleeve tees for layers. We would prefer this look rather than faded jeans and tiny tees with a lot of rhinestones and glitter.

The young men should bring polo shirts, rugby shirts, long sleeve tees and button front shirts. Pullover sweaters, sweater vests and jean jackets, and hoodies. Cords, cargo pants, khakis and jeans.

We would like everyone to bring several options so that we have some choices. Please, no logos or recognizable graphics or art (Ex Spiderman, Hannah Montana) as they become clearance issues. Remember the appropriate shoes.

SCHOOL OFFICIALS
The men should have either a suit or a sport coat and slacks and ties. Bring shirts that could be worn with or without a tie, polo shirts and button front shirts. Also, pullover sweaters, cardigans and sweater vests would be great. Neutral or darker colors would be best. Tan, brown, navy, olive, grey, pale blue, cream, pale yellow, etc

The women should bring slacks and skirts with blouses and sweaters or jackets. Also dresses would be a great option. Not too dressy but more what would be considered "nice casual." The colors should be muted or neutral, not too bright and the patterns not too busy.

Everyone should bring at least three options for each change that you are asked to bring.

Texture is good! Small plaids, stripes and other basic graphics.

Stay away from recognizable logos and graphic tees that have recognizable images on them. These become a clearance issue.

Everyone should bring or wear long/thermal underwear. It will be cold and the costume dept cannot provide these items for everyone. Also, make sure to bring a coat for warmth. If you bring one that works in the color palette, you are more likely to be able to wear it on camera. Acceptable "camera coats" include denim jackets, lined and unlined, Carhartt type coats, down jackets in the color palette, longer trench type coats.
