The Art, The Craft, the Joy of... COSTUME!
Are you interested in Costume?
Do you wear, design, construct, study, photograph, display,
collect, or do you just like to watch the clothing go by?
Are you looking for other people in New England who share your interest?
Then join us!
This is the Web home of the Northern Lights Costumers' Guild, or NoeL for short. We are the New England area chapter of the International Costumers' Guild (ICG), which is a worldwide organization of costume professionals and hobbyists. It is a non-profit, charitable, and educational organization designed to "promote the educational, cultural, literary, artistic, and theatrical advancement of costume design and construction, and the influence of costume (clothing), fabrics, and design upon societies and cultures."
Read more on the International Costumers' Guild.
NoeL is composed of costumers, teachers, artists, engineers, and other interested people who share the love of costuming. Our members are scattered over the greater New England area. We hold meetings typically on the second Sunday of every month.
Read more about NoeL and our meeting schedule.
Some of our creative endeavors have won awards at the regional and international level. Photos of our award-winning costumes
are available in the updated NoeL Photo Gallery
