Costume Making Alterations

Our costume alteration service is grounded in sustainability and adaptability. With extensive experience in stage and screen costumes, we understand the importance of durability and the ability to withstand performance demands. Our experience with historical and contemporary stage costumes, including cherished pieces over 50 years old, equips us to handle delicate alterations with care. Anticipating a costume’s evolution through seasons, we preserve its alterability, respecting the original design while accommodating artists’ needs. This involves sourcing original or alternative fabrics and trims, and applying historical knowledge to accurately reconstruct and refurbish costumes. Our work preserves the costume’s legacy, ensuring it remains a vital part of the performance heritage.
