Costume design for as you like it
The document provides costume design ideas for Shakespeare's play "As You Like It". It outlines that the central idea is to distinguish between men's and women's clothing of the time period. Men of high class like the Duke and Orlando would wear tight pants, tall boots, fitted waistcoats, and large neck collars. Women like Rosalind and Celia, by contrast, would wear loose gowns without corsets as was common in the 19th century. Specific costumes are also designed for different scenes like formal attire for the court, hunting gear for the forest, and light Muslim gowns for the wedding.
