A selection of colorful costumes hangs on a clothes rack in front of a sign labeled 'HAIR & MAKEUP.' The costumes include a yellow ruffled dress, a silver fringe dress, and other vibrantly textured garments. There's a handwritten note about the close relationship between the makeup designers and actors alongside images of the team at work.

I had an amazing experience learning to sew with Stephanie. Her guidance was invaluable and made the process enjoyable and rewarding. I can't wait for my next lesson!

A vintage sewing room features a wooden mannequin wearing a tailored vest. Several sewing machines are placed on wooden tables, surrounded by fabric and paper patterns. The space has an industrial yet cozy ambiance, accentuated by warm lighting and wrought iron railings.
