*We are shooting Spring. Your choices should have both and long and short sleeve options. They should also include light weight layers such as cardigans, light weight windbreakers, etc.
We would prefer the colors of Spring; softer, more muted colors, rather that the bright, bold colors of Summer.
*We will be shooting Rain or Shine. So please include an umbrella and light rain jacket should we need one.
*One more thing... please read the notes that I am posting from the Props Department for some of the scenes and bring any of these things that you have.
