The Couture Costumer

The Couture Costumer Bespoke costume designer specialising in corsetry, burlesque, dancewear, and alternative bridal wear.

Each piece is handcrafted with care, offering exceptional fit, quality, and creativity.

I am a freelance costumer and seamstress trained in many aspects of constructing costumes and fashion garments, along with the maintenance of costumes for dance, theatre and film productions. I have experience with not only creating garments, but also with millinery, headpi

eces, dance wear, props, garment design, dressing, wardrobe supervision and wardrobe maintenance. For as long as I can remember, I've had a passion for costumes and fashion. I've always been a creative person and started dressing up at a young age. As a teenager with bigger fashion ambition than her budget, I began teaching myself how to sew. After graduating highschool I began study at TAFE SA Marleston in Fashion Design & Technology, but after completing Cert. IV I realised that my passion lied with the more extravagant side of garment construction and transferred to the Diploma of Costume for Performance at ACArts. After completion of my diploma I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working for various companies and events such as:

Australian Dance Theatre
Adelaide Fringe
Bamboozled Productions
Australian Dance Theatre
Restless Dance Theatre
Windmill Theatre
SA Film Corporation
WOMADelaide Festival
Cabaret Festival


Also offering sewing services to the general public for projects such as wedding gowns, custom costumes, dressmaking and alterations. A huge part of my love for making is that I constantly need to learn new skills and techniques, so I love the challenge that each new creation brings and the sheer satisfaction of completing a garment that makes the wearer feel amazing.

Today my mental health was kicking my butt so I took a break to make myself a lil (BIG) sparkly dice bag for my DnD dice 💜 It has 8 side compartments and a big area in the middle to roll 😍

Occasionally I get donations of sewing bits from friends and family members who have lost a loved one and it's so special going through these time capsules of well loved items and giving them a second life 🪡

Now that my work space has a bit of separation from home I've set up a little sewing table that I can actually work on things for fun 😱 I started this bat for Zeke from about a billion years ago and finally finished it up tonight 🦇

I've been conned by the smalls into buying some more plushie patterns, so watch this space 😅
