Isabel discovered her passion for making historically accurate costumes whilst studying Design Realisation at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, and on placements at the National Theatre, Tower of London and V&A Museum of Childhood.
The QEST Broderers’ Company Scholarship enabled Nellie to embark on the Postgraduate Diploma in Theatre Costume at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), the only course of its kind in the UK, covering the history of costume and skills including corset making, embroidery, tailoring and millinery.
