Costume Consulting

Rates starting at $100

I help you actualize your artistic vision, provide guidance and resources, helping you become a strong creative who can be proud of your finished costume or look. Costume Consulting is a virtual one-on-one service to assist in the creation of costumes, cosplays, and retro-inspired looks! I help you work through whatever road block you’ve hit in your costuming journey. This could happen at any point in the creative process! 

  • This is for you if you have an inspired idea but you’re not sure what steps to take to make it a reality.

  • This is for you if you’re not sure how to create your costume on a budget.

  • This is for you if you have a vintage style event to go to but no vintage clothing.

  • This is for you if you are in the middle of creating your costume, and you’re stuck and not sure how to move forward.

  • This is for you if you need help sourcing materials for your project.

  • This is for you if you’re looking for ways to make your creative process more efficient.

The best part is that after every session you walk away with knowledge that you can use in your future creative endeavors!

I have years of professional costuming experience that I want to share with you! I understand what it’s like to be learning along the way (I still learn something new with every project)! My experience has given me the skills and tools to research, source materials and clothing, modify and alter, communicate artistic visions, and teach others how to create beautiful cohesive pieces as well.

Additionally, you have the option to add a Personalized Resource Guide:

What is a Personalized Resource Guide?

This is a guide full of links to materials and items that you can use based on your needs that we discuss in your consultation. It includes two components: a vision board + a resource list.

  • Vision Board : full of images to help you when creating your look, including research images, reference images for shopping, fabric examples, color examples, and anything else that you can use as reference when creating your look!

  • Resource List : links to items and materials that you need to complete your look based on our discussion during the consultation. I’ll find multiple options that fit into your budget for you to use as a virtual shopping cart and you choose what works best for you!

For your appointment, choose either a 30 minute or 60 minute booking based on your project and the challenges we will be tackling. Come to the meeting prepared to talk about your project and challenges (design, sourcing, materials, detail work, sewing, making it on a budget, vintage accuracy, etc). When you book an appointment, attach any images or files you feel are important for me to see for our meeting. 

If you feel you would like a Personalized Resource Guide, then add that to your booking. This will be completed after our first meeting.

Annie was so amazing to work with and really made sure the costume I had needed was perfect. She fit it like a glove, which means a lot to me as I usually have difficulties finding a perfect fit for my body type. She was quick, efficient and really professional and pleasant the entire time we worked together and after. I highly recommend her services for costuming.
