Costume makers working on low-budget, small scale productions in the film, television and live theatre/entertainment industries apply the skills and knowledge described in this unit, which covers the making of relatively simple costumes.
Even though they usually work to briefs provided by costume designers, there is scope for costume makers to be creative as they work on the designs they are given. They need to be adept at pattern drafting and familiar with a full range of sewing and finishing techniques. This work is usually undertaken with some supervision and guidance.
Skills associated with making more complex costumes are covered in:
CUECOS10A Make period costumes
CUECOS11A Make character costumes.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to make costumes for performances in the screen, media and entertainment industries.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
