When dressing background performers, how often do we reuse the same top, dress or skirt? All the time!
For inspiration on how to keep recycled pieces looking fresh, check out The Uniform Project, one woman's experiment with wearing the same black cotton dress every day for 365 days. By layering and adding different accessories and hosiery, Sheena Matheiken manages to make every incarnation look new and unique. An added bonus: donations to the project are directed to a children's charity.
