Have you thought about a graduate program? That is, an MFA, or other Master’s Degree, or even a Doctorate? Since you already have a Bachelor’s, you are qualified for grad school. And there is no requirement that you go to grad school in the same subject you got your undergrad degree in. Many, many people get their graduate degrees in different subjects than their undergraduate degrees.

I agree with theatermom that a costume is a costume. I am sure the costumes you have made are good enough for theater. (hmm, they were not for theater, film, or television, but for your own personal use. I am guessing some sort of cosplay, or else a historical reenactment society, or both) And costumes for theater are going to be the same as costumes for film and television.

But maybe you should be contacting people who work as costumers in film, that is to say the people who already have your dream job. Find out how they got their start in the industry, and whether you even need a degree.
