Montana State Capitol -- August 2001

 YELLOWSTONE: COSTUME BLOG

SEASON: FALL

This is where the Costume Department will give you notes on what to wear, what to bring, and what to be prepared for.

Each day you come to work, we'd like you to bring three options of outfits. This way, we can choose the look that works the best for the scene and make sure we have a variety of colors and styles within your category. Even if you don't have exactly what you see in the photos, bring several options of what you have. We might love it! Also, please bring any accessories you normally wear with your costume (jewelry, accessories, etc.)

If you have tattoos, please bring clothing options that cover your tattoos.

If you are recalled or if you are working on multiple days in the same scene, please bring all of the same stuff you wore on your first work day. If you aren't sure whether we've seen you in a particular scene, just bring whatever you've worn on camera in the past. Once we start filming, your costume needs to stay exactly the same until we've finished the scene, so if you are wearing a jacket when we start filming, you'll need to wear it the whole day, even if the weather gets warm.

Along with your costume, bring a warm layer to wear when you aren't filming and ladies in heels, bring comfortable shoes to wear when you are off camera.

Please stay away from:

 Bright colors 

Bold Patterns and Prints

Logos/ Copyrighted items

Black and white are okay in small amounts but try to bring 

some options in the colors on this chart as well.
