Thought I would post some recent costume photos.  I have had a mad couple of months to get them ready for the festival this half term, but finally got there!

These are the new squad leotards for one of the Gyms I make leotards for.

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Those are all beautiful.  Takes me back to my twin sisters' dancing days.  Mum made most of their stuff but I got commandeered as well.  I never made anything as accomplished as yours.
Life's too short for ironing.

Experimenting to see if I can link a photo



Ooh, ooh, it worked.

This is Mr Bear in a costume he wore last year for about 5 minutes on stage in a 'Farndale TG' farce.
The biggest issue for me was fitting a woman-shaped pattern to a paunchy man-shaped man  ;)

eta: I notice other photos are small and click-onable. If what I have done is unsuitable, please say and I'll remove it.

No, that's perfect.   :)  If you see what I mean....

Thank you @Yellowfeather. He was supposed to be a man who got roped in to help out with his wife's 'Fashion through the Ages' show and this was 'Fashion of the Future'.  I enjoyed making it - and he enjoyed sourcing all the extras!

They can take anything from  2-3 hours to 2-3 days.  I charge the customer for the hours spent and the fabric used, so it varies widely depending on difficulty and fabric choices.  The leotards are a set price, as they are squad leotards for a local gym club, and they will keep the design for at least 2 years.
