Costume

From stage and theatre to Halloween and costume parties and from ren faire to television and cinema, corsets play a huge role in costume. Because they are intrinsic to our fashion history as well as representative of important elements in various livery styles, a well-made corset is a representative and beautiful center-piece in many great costumes.

Though we can help you design a corset for any occasion we appropriately and unsurprisingly get many requests for Renaissance and medieval clothing and Elizabethan costumes from individuals, stage productions, television shows, museums, historic sites, educational institutions, and re-enactment societies.

The incredibly elaborate clothing we associate with the Renaissance era was worn by the elite. These costumes were largely worn to formal affairs and were meant to make a statement and represent one’s social status. The purpose of Renaissance formalwear was much the same as today: to celebrate a special occasion or dress appropriately for an official function or as formal costumes for nobility.

No matter the occasion for your costume needs, we can help you to step right into the fantasy role. If you are looking for off the rack, you’re in the wrong place. Whether you’re looking for period pieces or pure fantasy, we are trained in both modern and historical corsetry techniques and we only create authentic pieces of the highest quality.
