Commission Information
There are lots of things I can make as commissions which are all listed here. If you are interested in commissioning me, you can send me an email at the bottom of the page or click HERE for my contact page. You can also send me a DM on my Instagram
I can create costumes for anyone, no matter your size or gender identity, I will strive to ensure it fits as well as I can get it to fit. Due to difficulties with overseas commissions a Toile and Fitting will not be possible, all patterns will be drafted to the measurements that are sent to me.
Custom Costumes
I love to make any and all costumes, if you have an idea for a costume you want to have made I am open to creating it for you!
This could be an existing design for a character from a series, movie or game. When it comes to designs from Artists, I will only accept the commision if the artist themselves allow people to make costumes based on their design.
If you have an idea, let me know and we can see if we can bring it to life!
Designing
I absolutely adore designing costumes! I can create designs based on existing characters or something completely new!
If you give me some pointers to what you want me to make, I can create a design and we can discuss it together until you are happy with what has been created!
What I can't make as commissions.
I am a trained sewist and whilst I've dabbled in foam and prop work at this point in time I do not offer props, armor builds with foam or worbla, etc. I am happy to include 3D printed elements if a file is already available and permissions permit selling it. But the primary focus for commissions will be fabric based
For prop commissions I recommend checking out Illustris Models HERE
Cost
The price of a commission is based around a couple of different factors, such as material amount and cost and the time for both patterning and constructing your garment. This means the price varies per commission. The below is a rough estimate of things I have made previously:
-
Corsets: $400-$800
-
Character Costumes: $1200 - $1700
-
Ballgowns: $1500 - $2000
Please note that these are rough estimates. A commission can be cheaper or more expensive depending on the materials and the amount of details.
Payment Plans
Commissioning a costume can be quite expensive and I understand the struggle to pay such a large sum of money in one go. For all my commissions the materials cost is to be paid upfront so I can order the materials and start on your garment, with the labour cost requiring payment 4 weeks later.
I also offer payment plans to spread out the cost of the commission over a span of time as well.
-
Payment Plan 1: Paying the entire commission in one term. This will be 4 weeks before the start of the commission so materials can be ordered.
-
Payment Plan 2: Materials cost to be paid in full, with the remaining labour cost to be paid 4 weeks after the first invoice.
-
Payment Plan 3: Materials cost to be paid in full, the remaining amount of the commission can then be paid in two terms that are split 50/50. All invoices are spaced 4 weeks apart.
-
Payment Plan 4: Paying for materials first (4 weeks before the start of the commission). The rest of the commission can be paid off in installments of $100-$200 every 4 weeks. The last invoice will be the remaining amount of the commission so can be less than $100. (Note: your commission will not be shipped out until all outstanding balance has been paid)
If the materials payment in one go is too high for the client to pay all at one, options to split this payment up further can be discussed. But this is not preferred.
If you have any questions about Payment Plans or would like a further explanation, please reach out via email or Instagram
