Costumes for Revenants-Distressing....

So there is a fine art to making zombie costumes...mostly it involves figuring out what the people the zombies used to be are like...then what they were wearing when they were attacked...and then taking those clothes and ripping the heck out of them and staining them up. But of course the stains need to be permanent...these costumes will need to be washed every night so the distressing has to be done in such a way as to last throughout the run with minimal touchups. Tricky tricky stuff yall.

Tricks of the distressing trade: scissors, seam rippers, sand paper, metal rasps, grinders, acrylic paint, Rit Dye, and much more. Photos to come...
