Notes on Costuming:
No attempt has been made to assign costumes to the modern characters as we are never asked for them. All costume changes above are circa 1756.
The costumes above will generally be warm earth tones. Plaids will not appear to any large extent in the chorus costumes, but will be saved for the wedding swags. "Tartan" as used above does not indicate historical authenticity, rather that we won't give a MacLaren and a Beaton the same tartan pattern, but assign single tartan patterns to single families. If your chorus people are blocked during the wedding to represent followers of a certain clan head, please indicate such to us that we may match shoulder swags. |
