Design begins with a test pattern and fit of a full jumpsuit in plain white scuba spandex knit. It is tailored and altered specifically for Marie-Hélène’s height and measurements.

We traced out a flat pattern based on our fitted and trued-up sample jumpsuit. Famous vexillologist (flag expert!) and friend, DeVaughn Simper, created the graphic design. The dye-sublimation printing on our fabric is by Colonial Flag.

NOTES: For clients interested in ordering custom printed stretch costumes.

We are still searching for a printer who can print on the super shiny “wet look” spandex (the sort that Marie-Hélène depicts here in her ai renderings).

The wet-look surface coating clogs up the fabric presses and other machinery, so for now we are sticking with matte surface spandex, matte poly knits and matte scuba. See more “Wet Look” spandex here!

Wisest Wizard

mcgrewsadmin · November 20, 2025 ·

Stan McGrew here is the wisest wizard at McGrew Studios (or anywhere else). He and my amazing mother are largely to blame for all the crazy creations that have colonized my life. This is what happens when you have an arts-oriented kid and encourage them. Parents, beware.

The fabric in this costume is a fantastic knit called French Terry, from Design Company Fabrics SLC. It’s a fabric with terrific weight, drape, and most of all- texture. We’ve used it in numerous items, from Game of Thrones-style capes and gowns, to other medieval and period pieces, plus in this wizard costume you see here.

Our huge thanks to the great staff and friends at Family Tree for this awesome annual Halloween event!
