CHARLOTTE MECKLENBURG CO. POLICE DEPT (CMCPD) 8/4

Hello and welcome.  We're glad you'll be joining us.  In the following post you will find descriptions  to help you with your choices of what to bring tomorrow, Monday, 8/4

Just a couple of housekeeping items to begin with......

-Please, be on time.  You will be checked in by the AD Department and fill out paperwork before we can look at you.  If you are late then the Costume Department does not get as much time to make sure you look great.  You are gonna be on TV after all..... just sayin'   :-)

-Always come dressed in your first, best choice of the descriptions for your character.   After reading the character descriptions that you will find here, make your best pick and wear it in.  However, you will ALWAYS be expected to bring options with you so that we can make the final choices.  The final choices will be made by the Costume Dept.  Please respect that we have the overview of the day and the show, and do not complain about what we ask you to wear.

The scenes that we shoot tomorrow take place on our Police Dept set.  Please see the following descriptions about the specific characters.  There is also a color palette chart to help you make choices that work within the look of the show.

DETECTIVES  We are shooting 2 screen days tomorrow, so please bring enough options for us to pull two different looks from your choices.  You should wear and bring choices of the following:
med to dark 2 pc suits
sport coats/blazers and slacks and skirts
long sleeve, button front shirts and blouses
ties, for the men, in the color palette that are not too bold or busy
accessory scarves, for the women, in the color palette that are not too bold or busy
jewelry, watches and other accessories should be simple and conservative

Following find a color chart for the show and a chart with the kind of "white" that you should have.

Bright red will be reserved for one character in our show, so any true red articles can be left at home.
The red in the color chart below is really more of a brick red or a brown red.

In place of true white please see the White color chart below.   If an item is white but has a small pinstripe or check in it, like a dress shirt or blouse for example, the white will be brought down. Those kinds of things would be acceptable.
