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.
