The wardrobe department couldn’t find a fur headpiece to fit the script, so they ordered a fur and some glass eyes, and sent the materials to my workshop. It was a strange experience. Normally I would use faux fur for my costumes. I had to straighten out the ears, one was squashed flat to the…
“Can you make a schnitzel novelty costume?”Long answer short: Yes. Time frame and budget were discussed and we came up with a solution. The cheapest way we decided in the end would be to print one up and make a costume from the print. It would save days of testing and layering materials, not to…
Welcome to my first Costume blog entry for the year 2015. Yes, it’s already March, but hey, we do have to start somewhere. Thank-you to everyone who hired a costume or had costumes or props made by us in 2014. Without you this little space would cease to exist! We come in handy for those…
I made a Medusa costume this week, ready to party in Melbourne this Halloween. She’ll be back for Sydney hires afterwards. Good for Gods and Goddesses, Fantasy, Mythical Creatures, Secret Garden themes. I should have taken photos as she was being made. No doubt I’ll just have to work it out all over again next…

Check out these cartoon heads made to complete dance costumes for a school dance performance. They had already arranged the black leggings and singlets, and required from me the images on the front for them to hand stitch to the singlets. I could have made lycra jumpsuits or leotards, but they already sourced an alternative…
The nature of costume hire is changing. These days costumes are cheaply made available, spewed out of factories in their thousands packaged in plastic and sent all over the world for the unfussy masses. These costumes are worn once, and then thrown into garbage destined for landfill, because quite frankly, they are generally not worth…
I made a fabulous PVC Maleficant costume for a Pole dancing competition this August, which went well, photos to come when the client sends some in full regalia, make up, hair and boots. You can’t really tell by the naked eye, but the dancers muscles are built up in places that requires a custom made…
