I have discovered a love for costume designing. I love to sew, AND I love to design my own styles and fashions, (e.g. fairy fashion :) so being a costume designer for a movie would be a dream for me. Next year when I go to the high school, I will take all their sewing classes and all their fashion classes, so I can learn everything I can about that wonderful career.
One of the things that helped me discover this was the behind the scenes of The Lord of the Rings DVD. I know it sounds silly at first. The behind the scenes had a section about the costume that were needed to bring it off the ground.
In the Lord of the Rings there were:
*19,000 costumes all sewn just for the movie
*40 seamstresses
*billions of hand linked links for chain mail
*tons of hand embroidered costumes
*and too many other amazing things to be able to mention them all
This is why I want to be a costume designer. If you don't understand why I am excited about 19,000 hand designed costumes, then I guess you weren't made to be a costume designer:)
