Dancing At Lughnasa is a memory play; and I wanted the costume design to aid in the overall feeling of deeply ingrained, yet misty memories. I used a soft color palette and delicate patterns in the costumes. All of the costumes were very gentle. Gentle in texture, color, and design.With the exception of Kate's school suit, the sisters wore similar floral dresses, cardigans, and aprons. Simple touches added to their costumes gave them a sense of individuality - but in a struggling household special individual items would be minimal.
