costume distressing techniques

Allen Hopps of StiltbeastStudios walks through his go-to methods for distressing costumes to achieve a convincingly aged and worn look. A core principle covered is color selection relative to base fabric tone — lighter colors for dark fabrics and medium tones for lighter fabrics. The techniques are practical and repeatable, aimed at haunted attraction performers and DIY costume builders. The creator notes this is likely the first in a series of distressing-focused videos.
