Our Next Big Project

Our next big project will be making a stage costume for our client who is a singer. The design we came up with is this.
This is a jacket that was inspired by our client who loves the colour purple and puffy arms. While designing the jacket we had to think about how easy it was going to be to put on and to move around in.
The top of the sleeves have a point going up and on that point we thought of putting gems to make them stand out even more. The point has to be filled to hold its shape otherwise it would collapse very easily. The fabric that would be great for this jacket is upholstery fabric because it is thick and holds its shape very well (plus it comes with some very cool patterns :) ). We will be presenting this design to our client this week and as soon as we get the thumbs up we will start the next phase which is making the pattern and sewing the mock-up. We will keep you updated.

Black Sequins

Hello everyone,

As a new year theme my client choose the 1920's which meant that we had to design costumes from that era. Here is the sketch for the first design. This design is for the dancers of the singer. 
The design consists of a crop top with a small collar and short sleeves and a high waisted pair of shorts. The fabric we chose for the design is a black sequinned one. This was the choice of our client. 

I will be adding the rest of the designs within the next few days. 
After that I will be talking about the patterns and hopefully will be able to show you the final products.
