greetings dancers and lovers of fine costumes

i am coming back to the bay for the fall, and thought to let it be known that the costume shop will be open.
as a passionate dancer and costumer, my designs, quality, and timeless style will stand out amongst your rack of treasures, and will certainly remain throughout your eras.

i have a small selection of ready made pieces, and primarily am available for custom garments, costumes, and some alterations.

the more time we have for projects the better and more graceful. so think ahead.

also am available for fashion or costume wardrobe consulting which can look like exfoliating, or can involve creating new pieces to go with existing ones, or of course all of the above.

other areas of experience, in case you know someone to pass it onto...
*styling & design for film, theater, print, etc.
*large scale or small run garment production
*sewing for home furnishings

i also teach COSTUME WORKSHOPS based on the richness of tribal and indiginous cultures, and how it relates to both our fashion and dance costuming of today. drop a line if you want to know when the next one is, or if you'd like to host one.

feel free to contact me with questions, or to pass on my info to someone who might be interested.

best wishes to you all!
