Costume Design and Construction

What do you envision?

Past projects have included:

*remaking heirloom or vintage gowns into custom pieces

*nontraditional wedding attire

*pageant

*theatrical

*dance and circus

*tricky-to-fit bodies

*adaptive clothing

*cosplay

*drag

*festival wear

*reenactment clothing

I will support your vision and make you comfortable with the process.

I will work with you to create a finished garment that is unique to you. There are many variations in what services would be provided, but let’s talk about what I can do:

*consultation meeting

*finding a commercial pattern, if applicable, to cut down your cost; or drafting/draping a custom pattern for you

*assistance with fabric and trim selection

*multiple fittings

*advisement on the whole “look”, if applicable, and sources

*rough sketches (done at the consultation) and a color rendering if applicable

I am located in the greater Cincinnati area. While it is best to do this process in-person, it is possible to take on projects long-distance. Be aware, though, that it is more difficult and more expensive to do so.

Not every project will include these things, so the consultation meeting will cover what all you are looking for.  I will be able to give you a breakdown of what I can provide and a rough estimate of supplies and labor.  You’ll have options when possible, so you can make choices in line with your budget.  Need something not listed?  Just ask!

Let’s talk!
