ROLLER DERBY! THE DEATH DEALERS

mcgrewsadmin · May 5, 2026 ·

Salt Lake City’s roller derby craze exploded onto the scene in the late 2000’s, and the Death Dealers here show off their anime-ninja inspired costumes that we designed and made just for them.

Special thanks to team captain Jen Philion for getting this party rolling!

We had each team member choose her favorite necklines, sleeves and other details.

PENNYWISE: CUSTOM COSTUME

mcgrewsadmin · October 25, 2018 ·

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:)
