Sometimes we get asked to design pretty unusual costumes, some actually bordering on bizarre but after all perhaps that’s what a costume is supposed to be. If you look up the word “Costume’ in the dictionary you’ll see definitions similar to these…

Cos-tume –noun

1. a style of dress, including accessories and hairdos, esp. peculiar to a nation, region, group, or historical period.

2. dress or garb characteristic of another period, place, person, etc., as worn on the stage or at balls.

3. fashion of dress appropriate to a particular occasion or season: dancing costume; winter costume.

4. a set of garments, esp. women’s garments, selected for wear at a single time; outfit; ensemble.

Costumes allow us to explore and be whomever, whatever from whenever and wherever we want to be. From young to old dressing up is always fun and when we have an opportunity to wear and participate in a special costume we allow our bodies and spirits to transform themselves into new personalities with the ability to change back at will.

When it comes to costumes there really are no limitations and what may seem ‘peculiar’ to some is just the ticket for others and just as with regular apparel, what you may like someone else may not and vice versa, after all that’s what makes the world go around. Not every costume we make we like but that’s not what’s important, if it’s what the customer wants and they like it then that’s all that matters. The funny thing is sometimes the most unusual ideas can make for some great costumes and in the early stages when you think that it may not look as good as you hoped, well they turn out terrific. Costumes are often viewed from a distance such as on a stage, so they need to have ‘impact’ and from a distance they should have enough visual impact to be enjoyed by the viewing audience and to make a statement for the theme they were designed for. If you’ve got some ideas for some unusual costumes, persue them. Costumes are really an area you can let your creativity run wild and ‘unusual’ can often result in an amazing costume.

You’ve probably heard the saying ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ well in our business a picture of you is most certainly that and more. We take orders for custom garments from all over the world and your measurements formulate a mental picture of you in our production team’s minds. This mental picture helps them to sculpt the finished product to your body, but no matter how many measurements we ask for a picture tells us so much more.

Everyone’s body is very unique so where possible if you can send a full length front and back picture of yourself to us with your measurements, we are even better equipped to do what we do best and that’s make your custom garment specially tailored just for you.

Its fun, exciting and sometimes frustrating but coming up with ideas for new costumes can be tricky for some. Often we receive ideas from clients as bits and pieces of information and it’s our job to put those pieces together into a visual rendition and to tell you the truth the process is fun because it’s so creative.

We absolutely love it when we create a design and we hear ‘Wow – that’s exactly what I was thinking!’ No we’re not psychic and we can’t read your mind but after doing what we do for so long in some ways perhaps we are. Essentially we take your pieces of information and we add the missing pieces into the design to create a picture of what you have in mind and it works very well, in fact it works so well that 99% of all designs we create are approved without requiring revision. Got some ideas? Well let’s get creative and we’ll help you bring those ideas together. Don’t be frustrated let’s have fun!

As costume makers we often receive inquiries as to whether we can make just about anything and a lot of times we are asked if we can make custom made mainstream apparel, well the answer to that is absolutely we can!

In many cases designing and manufacturing costumes is more complex than traditional apparel, so for us to create and produce different forms of garments be it custom jackets, track suits, active wear, dresses or just about any other form of apparel, yes we can certainly do that and it’ll be affordable, unique and of course will have a custom fit.

Whether you need just 1, 100 or 1,000 or more we would be happy to quote on your need’s. Please contact us.for more information.
