Bio:

Danielle Dulchinos is a costume artisan with a passion for historic and historically-inspired work. She has a dual bachelor’s degree in television & film communications and theater studies from Elon University and recently received her MFA in costume production from Carnegie Mellon University. 

She has experience in draping and patternmaking, couture sewing, millinery, tailoring, and stretchwear techniques. As a costume maker for both film and live entertainment, Danielle’s work is often informed by historic techniques. She gravitates towards silhouettes and styles based in history, as well as the approaches and methods used in garment production throughout the various centuries. 

Her period tailoring work was recently seen onstage in City Theater Company’s Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley and Carnegie Mellon University’s A Little Night Music. Additional recent credits include working as a travel tailor on Taylor Swift’s The Era’s Tour and as a swing dresser on POTUS on Broadway.

Before returning to school, Danielle worked professionally in New York City as a dresser, stitcher, and set costumer. When she is not in a costume shop or on set, she can usually be found training for her next marathon or hunting for treasures at vintage stores and estate sales.
