Testing Procedures
The final
outfit is a costume intended for a storybook character created by a partner and
me. A live stage production is the
hypothetical situation the outfit will be worn in. The outfit is intended for stage but will
ultimately be worn by a live model, a classmate and friend. The outfit must fit a set list of
specifications, including but not limited to, fitting the model, representing a
marine organism, and putting on and taking off the outfit easily. Tests will be done for throughout the duration
of the project to ensure a quality final product that fits all specifications. Testing procedures will be administered be the
designer.
