Portland Monthly: Jaymes Neon née Hansen has been around the Portland wardrobe block. Between selling her reworked vintage pieces and handmade designs at indie boutique Seaplane and glamming out GLOW-style wrestling costumes for a Menomena music video (full disclosure: I was one of the wrestlers) in the early aughts to blinging out animation puppets for Bent Image Lab, she’s become an essential component of the city’s fashion world.

I forget how insanely huge the scope of tv shows can get until I read lines like “this character wore the same suit through the whole show, but we had 40 versions of it to cover all the scenes he was in over the course of the show” What?? Thats so crazy! I cannot even begin to imagine the logistics associated with costuming a multi-season long show run. What happens if your show gets canceled, and then picked up again, but all of your original costumes have been thrown out already / lost to the ether of hollywood costume storage? I suppose you’d have to hope and pray your original supplier still has the garment you used, or you have to start custom making recreations of it. And I’m sure that money starts adding up quick. I’m beginning to understand why costuming costs SO much money. Theatrically it obviously is already a huge category, but the scope of costuming for film encompasses an even bigger area. I would love to see a breakdown for shows like these to see just how much they have to spend to maintain onscreen consistency.
