Corsets
Custom Pageant Costumes:
Glamour, Made to Order
Inspired by a Vivienne Westwood design, this ensemble shows off custom panniers on a fitted basque, a petite corseted bodice with an additional side zipper plus a cool hair fascinator by Melissa Welinsky. Not shown here are the custom rouched briefs we also made out of the same great plaid taffeta.
Pageant costumes must be unique and stunning, because prizes, money, scholarships and fame are all at stake in these competitions.
We wanted to show you this particular example from 2011 that our client commissioned for her talent number – because she is also a champion bagpiper.
She brought us some great reference photos of the original Vivienne Westwood design and this plaid gown was SO great during her bagpipe performance! So awesome.
Custom Jacobean Period Dress
Custom Jacobean period ensemble for a professional musician who plays “the greatest hits of the past 500 years.” Cartridge-pleated skirt and overskirt, over a bum-roll, with a boned bodice and linen blouse. Fabrics are linen, linen/rayon blends and silk.
Iconic Film Replicas
Another pic from the archives…. custom costumes of these two iconic musical theater / film characters.
For him we made a custom double-breasted vest, high waisted trousers, coat and accessories. For her, a custom chemise, corset, skirt and accessories. Private clients.
Here they are in our Hallway, in full costume and makeup, ready to hit the town:)
The sculpture on the wall behind them is by the amazing Cordell Taylor, formerly our neighbor on Pierpont Avenue.
Highland Corset
Custom corset made in wool plaid and combined with nylon rip-stop, antique buckles, 20 steel stays and metal zipper. This performer asked us to create some steampunk future-fitting fun for her existing look to attend the popular Scottish Festival and Highland Games, Thanksgiving Point. Gie it laldy!
