The Met’s Costume Shop

The New York Times recently published a piece that went inside the Met’s costume shop with the Head of Costumes, Lesley C. Weston.  The article dishes on Weston’s history in the world of couture, price tags, and wardrobe malfunctions.  And she insists, “We don’t hear people having tantrums about their costumes, or not wanting to wear puce, or complaining that a neckline is too high. I’ve seen more divalike behavior in Starbucks over soy milk than I’ve seen backstage at the Metropolitan Opera.”
