Dulcie Scott, who most recently made couture dresses for Ruth Wilson in the BBC’s adaptation of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials, is helping lead the effort alongside a material buyer who once worked on a medical drama. “It went way beyond anything I could have imagined,” Scott told Reuters. “We have the most phenomenal, world-class network of costume makers helping us.”
Two weeks on it has raised more than 44,000 pounds, and some 6,000 sets of scrubs are being made. In one case a curtain maker donated fabric, while the bosses of factories forced shut by the outbreak are working to cut the material.
