I provide custom costume design/build services for schools, churches, community theatres and special events.
My standard rate is $35/hour to design, construct, fit and/or make alterations to individual costumes. Custom rates are available for larger contracts, which may include a combination of rental and design/build services. Please call/text me at 616-566-2505 to discuss your costuming needs and I will provide you with a quote.

Unique program - If approved, I will design/build you a custom costume, let you rent it for your show/event, then keep it in my inventory for future rentals.
I am always looking for new sources of inspiration. in addition to customer requirements, I am often inspired to start new creative projects by things I see in movies, YouTube videos, nature walks, or interactions with people.
I believe in being a good steward and managing costs. I pick up interesting materials and supplies from garage sales and thrift stores so I can have them on hand for future projects...and I am always open to donated materials!
I am constantly working to build by costume designer skills by learning new sewing/construction techniques and being willing to experiment. I enjoy taking on unique and creative design challenges.
Although I am not a professional tailor, I am a perfectionist and am committed to creating costumes I can be proud of. I value quality over quantity, so I prefer to focus on specialty / custom costumes rather than mass production.
Because I am building my inventory of high-quality theatre costumes and am always looking for new sources of inspiration for my designs, I am sometimes willing to offer a "design-to-rent" contract.
This means that I will design and build a custom-fit costume for one or more individuals in time for an event/show. They will rent the costume(s) from me, then I will keep the costume(s) in my inventory for future rentals.
My willingness to make a "design-to-rent" offer depends on my bandwidth and estimation of the future rentability for each costume piece. If you think you have a project that would qualify ... let's talk!

Because I work full time during the day, I have to be selective in my costume designer commitments. However, I am always looking for new sources of inspiration.
I am just getting started in the costume-rental space, so all agreements are individual. Fill out the contact form to explain your custom costume needs and interests, and I will put together a package. Because this is my personal collection and I am not a for-profit company, I reserve the right to deny services or donate services at my discretion.
