Wardrobe department supervisor
The ABTT says:
The wardrobe is the department which presents the most opportunities to newcomers who can obtain work as sewing hands without previous theatre experience. A costume supervisor may have had a specialist art, design or drama school training. Costume cutters can acquire these skills whilst working in the department. A specialist cutting course is available at the London College of Fashion.
A theatre tailor will often have served an apprenticeship in the clothing industry, and adapted these skills to theatre use. A skilled cutter may sometimes take on the making of men’s costumes. Millinery is another skill which may be acquired on a design course or by working in the wardrobe department.
