The Legend of Zelda Movie teaser trailer from IGN and Rainfall Films

Link and Zelda on Location

In the summer of 2007, Sam Balcomb contacted us to create the costumes for a fictitious teaser movie trailer that he was filming in conjunction with IGN based on the hit Nintendo videogame Legend of Zelda. We created Princess Zelda's gown and handpainted sash, and the shirt, tunic and hat for Link based on official artwork for Twilight Princess. These unique outfits will not be replicated by us.

Link's green tunic and hat were made from cotton twill and had decorative hand stitched lacing accents. The shirt was hand dyed hemp.

Princess Zelda's bodice was created from lilac purple linen with a decorative stitch in white around the hemline. The main portion of the gown was constructed from cotton twill, with gold ribbon and gold on white wave knot trim around the hemline. The sash drape was meticulously hand painted, with the three triangles machine embroidered with gold threads. The decorative motifs above the gown hemline were heat transferred to the fabric due to time constraints.

This unique outfit will not be replicated by us.

This tencel bark cloth and embroidered silk chiffon gown was created and distressed for a film project - see our Professional Media page for film stills and more information!

Steampunk Airship Captain Ensemble

Based on an artistic rendering provided by the customer, this custom made Steampunk Airship Captains outfit was done in colors representing the various shades of copper - from new penny through to verdigris, with brass accents. The asymmetrical coat featured custom digitized and embroidered gear motifs, bronzed gear buttons, and leather accents by Kim. The other parts of this ensemble were a white cotton Victorian style shirt with tall collar and mother of pearl buttons, an ivory silk cravat with bronzed watch mechanism pin, and natural organic cotton twill gear button fly trousers with back waist gusset and button flap pockets.

This Inverness style cloak was based on that worn by the third Dr. Who, and was made from black 100% wool flannel lined with synthetic royal purple matte satin. It features a cotton velvet collar, four frog closures and arm holes different in style than those we normally create on our in-stock Inverness-style cloaks.

It was only logical that we would eventually be asked to create a custom made outfit from this Enterprise-ing universe.

Custom created for one of our customers to go Trekin' to the new movie, this Vulcan style outfit features a hemp underrobe with standing collar and uniquely detailed hood. The outer robe was made from a heavy, textured and patterned cotton that was color stripped, then re-dyed a "natural" shade.

PLEASE NOTE: We will not replicate any of the costumes from the 2009 film, even if they are awesome.

Centauri Coat

This 1770's era coat was made as a custom order for a gentleman dressing as a Centauri (from the series Babylon 5). It features gold lace, braid and trimming on a royal blue soft brushed 100% cotton twill with cotton duck interlining and old gold cotton lining.

This outfit is based on one worn by the Ranger Marcus in the science fiction series Babylon 5. This multilayered and detailed outfit consisted of a cotton undershirt with large collar, silk overtunic with trim, machine quilted and embellished belt and baldric, and cotton over-robe with sterling silver triangluar accents.

The sterling silver brooch and belt buckle were created by Russ at The Morpheus Company.

Thank you Kevin for the great photos!

Futuristic 1940's Style Suit

This outfit was created from a vintage 1940's pattern with a futuristic twist. The suit was made from a synthetic shot taffeta that shimmers between peacock blue and emerald green. The matching emerald green hat with veil was found after the fact, and is from the same time period.

Based on one of the outfits worn by Deckard in the legendary movie "Blade Runner" this one-of-a-kind custom ordered ensemble features a jacket, shirt and trousers based on the auction stills shown at BRprops.com. The 100% cotton shirt is made from textured cotton and features layered trim details on the sleeves and yoke. The rust colored jacket is made from herringbone polyester rather than the original silk at the customer's request based on fabric swatches which they approved - it has an asymmetrical yoke at the front, a yoke and back waist detail across the back, and different numbers of buttons on each sleeve. The trousers were made of organic cotton twill. These photos are brighter than 'real life' - the orange in the shirt above was definitely not radioactive, and the jacket at right is a rust color. The camera and lighting conditions conspired against us.

Dark Phoenix movie inspired ensemble! There's a sheer 100% silk chiffon shirt with ruffles at the cuff (not visible on the mannequin which has no arms), shot satin coat and heavily boned waist cincher with decorative belt. Photo at left is indoors under fluorescent lights, the middle and right were taken outdoors. The collar is intentionally symmetrical. The cost for this outfit is $450 plus shipping.

Based on a World War II era version of Captain America, this custom ordered outfit was made from 100% cotton twill.

The shirt/jacket was made from brushed royal blue cotton twill. The white star was reverse appliqued through a cut out at the center front, and the stripes were pieced together from chili pepper and white organic cotton twill. Gunmetal colored button close the asymmetrical front opening. Hard to see here, but there are buttoned flaps at the shoulders to prevent accessories' shoulder straps from slipping off the shoulders.

A custom ordered outfit similar to this made to your measurement specifications in your choice of colors from comparable materials would cost $375 + shipping.

Eggplant shantung gown with gold trim embellishment inspired by a piece worn in Pirates of the Caribbean. Shown here in two different sizes, it is worn to the right with an embroidered linen chemise, and to the left with a matelasse shift like the one below. The multilayered bodice is faced with a brocade of red roses on a black background, and the sleeves end in a cascade of lace.

Both gowns shown above are created from the same fabric - it photographs *quite* differently in various lighting conditions.

Cream matelasse gown with spiral laced sleeves and center front that was inspired by Elizabeth's shift in PotC.

Maybe *she* knows where the rum went!

Linen lined midnight blue wool flannel pirate coat with decorative buttonholes and buttons at the back vent as well as on the pocket flaps, center front opening and sleeve cuffs.

For this custom ordered ensemble we created a long pirate style coat made from charcoal gray wool flannel trimmed in braid, a silver and gray brocade waistcoat, and a hemp pirate style shirt. We hand dyed the shirt with black walnuts collected locally.

Cover Art Inspired Embroidered Wool Coat

This charcoal wool jacket was inspired by the cover art of a popular fantasy series and was created as a custom order for a gentleman's wedding. Featuring a standing collar and two inner pockets, it contains over 170,000 embroidered silver stitches.

This custom made ensemble was a blend of styles loosely based on the character Ezio, from the "Assassins Creed" video game, but mixed with elven and medieval/renaissance styles. The silk/linen blend shirt was embroidered with a historically based motif on the cuffs with hand stitched real pearl accents, and tone on tone embroidered running stitch at the sleeve join. The collar featured a silver and cream braid motif.

The gray faux suede and emerald silk dupioni jerkin also featured the same style of embroidery accented with Czech glass and mother of pearl beads, plus yards and yards of silver braid and cording. The front panels also featured a different embroidered motif that also had accent Czech glass beads. A series of sterling silver Elven style closures hold the center front together.

Raistlin Style Robe with Embroidered Cuffs

Raistlin inspired cotton robe with silver embroidered velveteen cuffs and seperate hood trimmed in silver and black. Runes say "Raistlin Mage".

The challenge here was to portray Herne. The head piece is fur covered and has set-in antlers, then is decorated with ivy leaves. The natural wool cloak has a dagged edge and oak leaf clasp, and was custom dyed and distressed on the outside. The faux suede tunic has pale green leaves embroidered at the neckline and sleeve ends. Due to the construction techniques used, the head-dress is one-of-a-kind and can not be replicated.

Soul Caliber 2 inspired bolero jacket with embroidered back design and pleather accents. Bonnie N. initially sent us the excellent sketch to the left, along with a picture of the character himself.
