HEY STYLIST ARE YOU SET READY?

Hey everyone!

This post is dedicated to all the upcoming wardrobe stylist out there that needs/wants a couple tips/pointers on what to have on set that will get you hired & not fired!

When working on set whether its on a photo-shoot, a sitcom, or etc. you will need to be ready for anything, and to stay prepared you should always have a set bag with the following items:

1. Your SET BAG is a very important tool that will allow you to have everything that you need in one place. There are several different types of set bags that would be beneficial on set.

The first one is more of a tote that is easy to throw over your shoulder.

The second one is a see thru bag with handles. I like this style of bag because its easy to grab and also easy to see your tools. The little compartments are great for small items like safety pins, tap, buttons etc.

The last bag is a fanny pack. This is one of my favorite bags to use on set because its right on your hip, but doesn't get in the way/ Plus you don't have to worry about carrying a tote around, or worry about where you last left your set back. I actually recommend that you have both a fanny pack and a tote style bag or a carrier bag with handles.

Now what should go inside these bags?? Great question. Listed below are a few items that are a necessity while working on set.

1. Safety pins- For when you don't have time to sew something, last minute pin ups etc.

2. A Lint Brush- For hairs, makeup powder, dust, dirt, etc. keep extra refills close by

 3. Double Stick Tape- Can be used for flapping collars, belts, to quickly cuff pants, etc.

4. Shout wipes/ Baby wipes- For any makeup spills, coffee stains, anything that can stain the model's/actress clothing

5. Static Guard- There's nothing worst than a clingy person...let alone a clingy dress or shirt!

6. Pre- Threaded Sewing Kit- Have plenty of these just in case you might need to sew a button on last minute !!

7. Makeup Sponge- Essential for wiping off makeup and any other stains without having to wait for the spot to dry 

 8. A small pair of scissors- To cut loose threads, to cut thread after quick sewing etc 

9. Super Glue- No introduction needed right?

10. A Small First Aid Kit-Because you never know

11. Gum- You're clients will love you...trust 

I hope this post will help you guys get an idea of what your set kit should look like. Keep these tools ready and prepared, and your employer will cheer !!! xoxo Styling Snazz
