Dear Diva,
I have a BIG problem. I am costuming a production of Pinocchio and the actor playing Geppetto is quite “well-upholstered." He told me he wears a size 50 pants, however I think his nose is growing! When I took his measurements, he actually has a 58” waist and 55” hips. How do I construct a pair of pants that don’t make him look like an oompa loompa?
Signed,
Costumer-at-Large
