I specialize in creating custom one-of-a-kind clothing and costume pieces for clients of all sizes and genders.
I especially welcome clients who identify as plus size, LGBTQIA+, and/or have difficulty fitting into standardly-proportioned clothes.
Have you been lusting after a particular piece or style that you just can’t find in a store, or doesn’t come in your size, or only exists in your imagination? Do you have an exciting big event coming up but can’t find anything that feels like “your style” to wear? Are you working on a creative project that requires a very unique costume or piece of clothing?
Let’s see if I can help you bring your vision to life!
How to work with me
Project Selection
I am currently seeking projects with a minimum 1-2 month lead time in the following categories:
nontraditional wedding/elopement/commitment ceremony attire
nontraditional workwear
clothing for special occasions or events
softgood components for cosplay
one-of-a-kind pieces for live performances or videos
adaptive apparel for people with specific needs
sloper/base pattern development for individuals for personal use
interior decorating (curtains, potholders, tea towels, throw pillows, cushion covers)
Process
Submit an inquiry via the form below to initiate the process and get a quote.
If the project sounds like something I have capacity for, the first thing that I will ask you for is a handful of inspiration photos that convey the details, fabrics, and aesthetic of the piece you are imagining.
*Please note that I will not copy another artist or designer’s work directly. I do not create knock-offs, and I reserve the right to say no to projects I do not feel are the right fit.
Once I have established visual references, I will provide you with a price quote. Prices include both labor and materials (which I will source, unless the project dictates otherwise).
When you are ready to move forward with the project, I will send you a link to schedule an initial fitting and design consultation.
I charge 50% up front. This first payment is due at the time of our first appointment to initiate the project, and is non-refundable. The remaining 50% is due upon completion of the project.
Some projects may require multiple in-person fittings along the way to ensure that we are on the right track. Please note that significant revisions or changes to the design after the project has been started may result in additional charges, and extended deadlines. If this is the case with your project, I will communicate this to you in writing before we move forward.
Once a project is completed, paid for, and passed to you, it is yours to keep, and yours to take care of. I will provide garment care recommendations upon delivery.
