CHIPPING CAMDEN - Costume makers in Britain who normally dress actors in shows from Downton Abbey to Game of Thrones and Batman have joined forces to make scrubs for medics fighting the coronavirus outbreak.
Dulcie Scott, who most recently made couture dresses for Ruth Wilson in the BBC's adaptation of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, is helping lead the effort alongside a material buyer who once worked on a medical drama. "It went way beyond anything I could have imagined," Scott told Reuters."We have the most phenomenal, world-class network of costume makers helping us."
Two weeks on it has raised more than 44,000 pounds, and some 6,000 sets of scrubs are being made. In one case a curtain maker donated fabric, while the bosses of factories forced shut by the outbreak are working to cut the material.
