Through Time

Costume Wear

With over 10 years experience in costume construction and design, you can be confident I can make or design a single costume or production both professionally and to a high standard.

I have worked in all areas of costume from dressing and costume maintenance, to construction, design, costume supervision, buying and occasionally with some jobs all of the above at once,

I pride myself on high quality work and have a great deal of skill in surface decoration. I can construct a whole costume from base to top layer starting with undergarments, corsets and petticoats to finishing touches like beading, embroidery, surface decorations and even some fabric manufacture.

Along with the above I have made masks and some props such as fans as well as shoe coverings. I am not a milliner but do have great decoration and trimming skills.

Some of my past work credits include:

ALADDIN THE MUSICAL (Hamburg, London, Australia): Costume Maker

WICKED THE MUSICAL (LONDON): Sewer, Decorations, Refurbishment, Alterations

DORSET OPERA: Designer, Maker, Supervisor. Buyer and Head of Workroom

BESPOKE

BESPOKE

Having a background in Fashion as well as Costume I have an eye for both. I love my costumes but sometimes what a client really wants is a whole new wardrobe (the fabric kind), Or maybe just that special item or two for an upcoming event.

With consultations, fittings and a 24/7 phone service I can design and tailor a special something just for you. We can talk through fabrics, style, design, decorations and all manor of things. I have experience in Bridal, Occasions and day wear and just love to make someone feel special.

Of course however if its just a beloved item that you have had a long time and worn a million times and is just looking a little tired I can also re-vamp, renovate or reuse it to get it looking new again and make it last the whole lot longer.
