Horse Girls is Comedy about about a group of quirky pre-teen girls who find community in a horse club, the Lady Jean Ladies, but when they find out their horse are being sold drama ensues as well as murders. For this show our director requested be dress in the girls in in early 2000s (the time horse girls were at their peak) Disney Channel inspired fashions. We created an outfit for each girl reflecting her individuality but at the request of our director included something red in each of their outfits as a motif to allude to how they are under Ashleigh (the clubs president) controll.

I co-designed the productions costumes with Katy Dawson. We designed, shopped, altered, and created pieces for this show. We also collaborated with Mirit Skeen on the blood used for the show to make sure it was safe for our clothing.
