Made To Measure, commissioned by the Charles Perkins Centre, is an interview-inspired project which has involved consultations with couturiers, seamstresses and their clients about making wedding day clothes to measure.

Confronting, informative and moving, this is a play that dramatizes the relationship that people have with their wedding day appearance and how it expresses their dreams about their body shape and life.

Made to Measure seeks to go beyond the debate about fat shaming and health epidemics and look with empathy and scrutiny about the lived experience of bridal couturiers and their clients.
