Long skirt. Like, really long. Extra length in the hem can be let out. Hemmed a bit shorter in front than in back. Extra big waistline with a casing and drawstring, can fit any waist size fast. 100% linen fabric.

PENNYWISE: CUSTOM COSTUME

2017:

This is a custom Pennywise costume.

Victor V. hired us to make it so he could wear it to the premiere of IT.

A very cool project with some swell fabrics: Two colors of silk dupioni with great rouching and piping details all over the place, then garnished with wool yarn pom poms plus some great paisley trimmings and tassel fringe.

His makeup is by one of the artists at the Fear Factory right here in Salt Lake. Victor tells us he will resurrect Pennywise when the IT sequel hits the theaters in 2019:)

Pennywise- fabrics and trim: Silk dupioni and wool yarns

Fresh costume – looks a bit cleaner than a monster who’s been living in the sewers and caverns for a millenia:)

Custom Superhero Costume: Littlest Wonder Woman – Josh Rossi Photography

mcgrewsadmin · October 20, 2016 ·

Famous Photographer, Famous Daughter

A project that’s had 33 million views and counting as of January 2017.

When Jessica Alba, George Takei, and even the new Wonder Woman film director Patty Jenkins talk about your work, trust us, it’s pretty cool.

McGrew Studios and Josh Rossi Photography have wanted to work together on a project for several years, and at last we finally have!

10/20/2016

The convergence of his daughter Nellee’s 3rd birthday, the 75th anniversary of Wonder Woman, Halloween 2016, plus the new Wonder Woman movie trailer all culminated in a personal project for Josh that hit viral status within just several days. As Josh told KSL TV in an interview at our studio, “All the trending buttons have been hit with both the timing and subject matter of his project,” (not to mention Full Time Photographer‘s original click-bait article title that waves a design and labor rate in readers’ faces).

Josh’s project has generated a BIG range of discussion, contention, admiration and even scorn– throughout comment threads on all the websites that have reposted the project or created their own new features about it.

At McGrews, we are naturally just agog at all this activity and very proud to have played our role in this fantastic project.

Nellee is one cool, three-year old superhero!

Costume made by McGrews’ staff Jennifer McGrew with Diane Thompson, plus custom sword and shield by Randy Crit Killen. We love how great Josh’s photos make our work look:)

We made Nellee’s costume using several types of leathers along with worbla details, lacing, grommets and a variety of trimmings. We designed her leather bodice to be adjustable in the back as well as on the sides, because she will grow fast!

Her leather skirt pieces are sewn onto their own waistband which is attached under the bodice, and this whole element is alterable so it can also be adjused as she grows. Nelee’s armored spats lace up over her boots and should also endure two or more shoe-size increases. We made Nellee’s shoulder straps expandable, and for adjustability over time, plus created her pauldrons to slide on her straps.

Something Josh brought up after the KSL interview at our shop was the idea of creating and marketing patterns for kids’ costumes. Based on the overwhelming response to this project’s release on the web, it’s something we may seriously consider.

We wanted this costume to be something that replicates the cinematic version and something that she’ll enjoy for a long time.
We predict she may wear it until she is five or older!

Barf Pockets

mcgrewsadmin · July 25, 2016 ·

Definitely as awesome as they sound.
Sometimes all a costume needs are the final detailed additions– in this case, new POCKETS!

Heroically, two pairs of khaki trousers sacrificed themselves to become the new pockets and dropseat we added to Bill’s existing coveralls. Now he is the essence of “Barf” from Mel Brooks’ hilarious Spaceballs film.

Thanks, Bill for having us make your new pockets and for sharing your photos.

May the schwartz be with you!
