Alison Lyons, a North East costume graduate, has secured a role on the new film adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. She studied costume construction at Cleveland College of Art and Design and reached out to the film's designer, Grace Snell, after learning production was starting. Snell offered her a place within the costume team.

Lyons took on two roles during the project. She served as Costume Coordinator during pre-production and then moved into the role of Principal Truck Supervisor during filming. Her responsibilities included managing and maintaining costumes for the main cast, planning wardrobe needs, and dressing actors on set. She worked closely with main cast members Daisy Edgar-Jones and George MacKay, lining up costumes for upcoming filming days, dressing them each day and maintaining their costumes throughout production.

Filming took place over ten weeks across the south of England, including Devon, Dorset, Oxfordshire, Kent, Hertfordshire and central London. Lyons said she felt 'very lucky' to have worked with such a 'fantastic designer'.
