Back to Bach

Larger Than Life Stagewear recently provided 18th Century costumes for "Project Vacuum" which references a series of different musical styles.

The organisers wanted to feature the influence of J S Bach and therefore the rich costumes set the scene in a very evocative way.

 

The boy with no shadow!

The Performers Stage School, South Shields have just used our costumes in a production of Peter Pan. They used a Camouflage effect tunic with wrist and ankle bands, brown tights and belt, all adapted to be worn over a flying harness!

John, Michael and Wendy were also well dressed in period nightwear

 

Walk Like an Egyptian . . . . . . .

We are happy to announce that our range now includes a fabulous Tutankhamun costume, consisting of a long white robe with pleated sleeves and overskirt, finished in blue and gold, along with a co-ordinating headdress. Suitable for sizes up to 44" chest.

 

Cleopatra looks fabulous for Anthony

A black loose dress, heavily decorated and with image of Cleopatra on the front of the dress, flimsy gold mesh-effect cape, black/gold sparkly collar, black wig and gold beaded headdress.

All completes a wonderful look suitable for the Queen of Egypt! (size up to 44" bust)

 

Olé!

For any production involving Spain or perhaps with just a Spanish feel, we can offer an authentic red and white Spanish Flamenco dress with green trim from Seville. (size approx. 36-38" bust, 30-32" waist)

 

A Touch of Bavaria

Straight from the bier kellers of Bavaria we have authentic looking male and female costumes consisting of 1 pair (long) authentic cowhide lederhosen, waist 38", 1 pair short suede lederhosen, waist 40 and 1 pair faux suede waist 40".

For the ladies we have Bavarian dirndl-type skirts, boleros and blouses (sizes 34" to 40" bust, waist up to 36")


 

May the Lord be with you

We are able to offer Ecclesiastical Robes, including 1 long white robe, 1 long black robe, plus a vicar's collar and surplice, along with 2 red and gold ornate vestments

 

Calamity Jane

Ideal for productions of the famous show, and indeed recently used in a senior school production by Bullers Wood School, Chislehurst, Kent.

We have many costumes, including American Cavalry uniforms, jackets, trousers and hats, suitable for Danny and the Colonel. Suedette fringed tunic (Calamity), trousers and cap, plus gun, holster and belt with bullet holders (size up to 42" bust, waist 31", leg 31"). Also a fringed suede jacket to suit Wild Bill Hickok (size 44" chest), available with a hat to complete the look.

 

The 'London to Brighton' - In Style!

Edwardian Motoring outfits will complete the look for those blissfully wonderful summer drives to the seaside in a vintage Bentley! Many Ladies 2-piece outfits are available, plus blouses, hats and long scarves - warm enough to keep the chill off during high speeds! (sizes 38" bust, 34" waist & 38" bust, 31" waist)

In addition is an Edwardian Mourning outfit - used in West Walls Theatre, Carlisle production of "The Late Edwina Black" (40" bust, 34" waist)

Secretly we all believe in Father Christmas, but in case he's not available we have a perfect copy of his plush jacket, trousers, hat and luxury beard, plus boot covers, belt and gloves (size up to 50" chest, waist up to 44")

 

The Flying Scotsman!

Any Scottish clansman would be proud to be seen in this black watch tartan kilt (waist 36"to 40"), black Sporran, ghillie shirt (up to 46" chest), and black Argyll cap, belt, socks, kilt pin. For the after battle celebration his fine lady would look stunning in the Ladies kilt (long evening) in Stuart tartan. (waist 32" to 36").
