  • Can’t wait for more episodes!

    I love this! As a theatre artist who has a deep respect for costuming, but never really worked in the industry, I found myself completely enthralled by the stories, lives, and work of the guests on the show. I’m googling the images so I can see the costumes as I listen. So excited to hear more from The Voice of Costume!!!!
