"We entered Cosprop as ourselves and walked out as the person we were playing."—Helena Bonham Carter CBE

"Cosprop is a magical place that is an important part of the nation's rich cultural heritage. This book should be essential reading for lovers of costume drama and for aspiring costume designers and makers.
