Dressing up characters
I'm wildly interested in fashion and costume design - in fact, there are even some movies that I watch just for the costumes alone.
My books describe what my characters wear, but what most readers may not realize is that I actually imagine their outfits, down to the last detail! To me, their clothes and fashion choices reveal a lot about their personality...even some traits that might not be explicitly spelled out in the books. To give you an idea of what I mean, here are four costume design boards for the trio in the Pink Shoes trilogy (Pink Shoes, If The Shoe Fits and Shoes Off!) as well as Cynthia, heroine of The Hagette, with matching psychologizing! Hope you enjoy these!
