The Process

Our Costumes are Made to Order

You will travel through the following stages when you hire us.

We start with whatever you have, an idea, a sketch, a product, a script, story board. We estimate the cost of the project, and after discussing with you and agreeing upon cost and desired results, you give us some money, and we begin the process of making the costume.

We develop the costume ideas as needed into working sketches, miniature models, rough mock-ups, or whatever seems appropriate to get the ideas into the real world. Fabrics and other materials are chosen. The costume is constructed for first review, we make more decisions about shape, materials, design and fit. When decisions are made final, we finish the costume. For some projects a third and final fitting is necessary.

If requested we go to the theater or other venue where the costume will be worked in and help the performers into their costumes, stand by for any emergency repairs or last minute changes requested by clients.

Our clients are typically made up of commercial directors, theater producers, stylists, ad agencies, costume designers, toy manufacturers, theme park designers, other costume shops, and a variety of companies who need their characters brought to life as  walk around costumes.

Our costumes are artistically built and engineered for your needs. Each costume has its own purpose, and we work to make sure your costume is right for its intended use.

If your costume will be used for a long time you can send back to us to refurbishment. Please note that we cannot reproduce any licenced characters for you unless you have purchased the license and have obtained permission from the owners of characters.

We do not have any costumes for rental.
