More Info...
For Halloween 1993, Kimberly wanted to wear a costume at work. She purchased a cheongsam from a vintage clothing store. We had to make some minor alterations in order for it to fit her. Then, Kimberly started making a headpiece for her costume, inspired from Peking Opera illustrations. It just so happened that a local theatre department was closing and all their notions, beads and headforms were for sale. We quickly jumped in the car and snatched up a bunch of things. Once Kimberly had strung all the beads and stitched them to a piece of satin, she realized the headpiece was too heavy. It kept flopping over and would not stay up, once tied to the back of her head. This is when I stepped in... I designed an understructure to keep the headpiece rigid, so it could support the weight of the beads and pompoms. Overall, we were pleased with the results and Kimberly had a good time at work that day.
