Bioplastics helped create wardrobe whimsy in Alice in Wonderland-Blitz mashup stage play

March 2, 2026 |

In London, bioplastics were used in the elaborate costumes of a whimsical stage play that saw the events of Alice in Wonderland take place in London during the Blitz. 

Dubbed Alice by Heart, the costumes were designed by Sarah Mosher, associate professor of costume design at Baylor. Algae-based bioplastics were shaped into numerous costumes, including the Jabberwocky and Knaves’ headpieces. 

“A lot of my costume elements are kind of askew, because I’ve lost that sense of self-care and grooming in the process of going through my shell shock,” Eduardo Perez, who plays Harold Pudding and the Mad Hatter, told The Baylor Lariat. 

The show ran February 18 through March 1.
