I help with costumes for a local theatre group. The character wears a jacket with a high collar, and the hair needs to read clearly from the back rows without catching on the fabric. We are comparing two bob shapes before making any cuts. One ends near the jaw and the other sits lower. I was looking for clearer terms and came across
bob haircut lengths as a reference for describing the options. The actor needs to turn freely during a quick scene change. The fitting photos alone leave the movement question open. We could photograph both versions from the audience area. I would keep lighting and camera position the same. We have only a small costume budget, so I would prefer a reversible test using pins before committing to scissors. The wig also needs to look consistent when the actor sits down. How would other costume volunteers structure that comparison?
