Connon from Assassin's Creed III Inspired Costume
The completed Assassin's Creed III Connor inspired costume! Made from white and blue faux suede with brown faux suede and leather accents, this custom ordered Connor costume jacket and surcoat were lined with 100% cotton twill. Historically accurate blue breeches and red waist sash were created from 100% linen. Minnetonka men's fringe boot moccasins were matched to a leather hide for the leg wraps and arm bracer.  This costume also featured stylized eagle embroidery on the detachable hood, and a hand cast pewter accent on the arm bracer. Beadwork on the arm bands by Molly Murphy Adams, wrought iron belt emblem smithed by Micah Hensley. Not including the beadwork or the blacksmithing, this costume took approximately 70 hours to create.  Hats off to the original costume designer for the game - they managed to beautifully integrate historical Rev. War era costume elements (i.e. French Marine coat) with Native American accents while making subtle references to previous costumes in the Assassin's Creed series. Can't wait to see this costume in action with accessories (pistol, quiver, etc.) created/gathered by the customer!

Assassin's Creed III Connor Inspired Costume Details

Assassin's Creed II Ezio Inspired Costume
Assassin's Creed II Ezio inspired custom costume.  The white cotton shirt featured uniquely shaped sleeves and lace at cuffs and collar/front opening area.  The tunic and vest were made from cloud grey organic cotton twill lined with shiny red satin.  Each tunic panel was embroidered and then embellished with silver braid, and the insides of the back panels and vest collar featured the same border motif in gold.  The inside collar embroidery was edged with gold braid.  The vest featured rows of red satin ribbon appliqued in place with pale grey thread and silver braid decorates the edges of the front and hemline.  Unlike the original design, the cap sleeves with braid, trim and appliqued red satin were moved to the tunic layer, and the collar was moved to the vest per customer request.  The hood is completely detachable.  Can't wait to see how it looks with the customer's other costume pieces!

This costume represents over 58 hours of labor time, including 22 hours of embroidery (not including digitizing time for the motifs kindly provided by the customer).  Thanks go to Garry for digitizing, embroidering and helping sew closures on the hood, and to our intern Camille for minding the embroidery machine for a red panel, pinning some silver braid in place for Andrea to sew, and for assisting with the creation of the shirt.

For behind the scenes photos of the creation of this custom costume, please see our Facebook album "Work in Progress".

Assassin's Creed II Ezio Inspired Costume Collar Detail
Medieval Elven EnsembleMedieval Elven Ensemble
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.

Several of the trims and metal components are no longer available from our suppliers, so this costume can not be replicated as shown.  Something similar would cost $850 + shipping and would require a minimum 8 week turnaround time depending on our availability.

 This custom ordered ensemble was based on Robin's costume in Robin Hood: Men in Tights.  Using the many detailed reference images kindly provided by the customer, we created the hat, shirt, jerkin, leather belts, arm guard, and belt pouch.  The hunter wool melton hat was accented with a pheasant feather, decorative stitching and buttons. The brown faux suede jerkin was lined with brown cotton twill and embellished with leather shapes and nickel studs and closed via laces at the front with a series of gold tone grommets.  The 100% cotton shirt was tea dyed and featured a fabulously large collar.  The fabric belt pouch was patterned after the one shown in the film stills and featured a wooden toggle button.

Many thanks to Eric Scull for a fun collaborative process and to both Eric and Cassidy for the fantastic photo!

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

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.   Production stills (c) Rainfall Films and IGN Entertainment and used here with permission.

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.


Beast Inspired Custom Costume

This custom made ensemble was based on images from the animated Beauty and the Beast film.  The textured blue coat was lined with gold satin and embellished with shaped gold venise lace and gold buttons.  The gold brocade waistcoat featured covered buttons and a back waist tie for adjustability.  The trousers were made from a 100% cotton that had a smaller but similar texture to the coat, and featured a button fly, back waist gusset, layered gold ribbon and black braid at the outseam and two side pockets with buttonable flaps.  White ruffles were added to the coat cuff and a white cravat with hand cast resin rose pin completed the look.

The hunter cotton twill coat was inspired by several fan art images and featured rows of gold braid, gold venise lace and darker gold toned bee buttons.  Not shown here, but included in the ensemble was a mid-calf length hunter twill cloak with gold and green braid accents and lined with gold satin that could be worn on its own, or in conjunction with the shoulder cape.

Aquatic Elven Custom Outfit


This custom ordered ensemble was inspired by elves and an aquatic theme. The under robe fabric was a moire like rippling water with tone on tone leaves and silver cording at the sleeve and garment hem. The translucent lightweight silk over-robe was hand dyed from white to pale blue with silver leaves. The over robe bell sleeves can be gathered up with a blue shell shaped button and loop. A pewter scallop brooch and silver silk dupioni sash belt with cords, iridescent soap bubble like accents, beach glass beads and seashells complete the look.

Joker Inspired Costume

Joker inspired custom ordered costume made from Italian wool suiting with dark purple cotton velvet accent collar. The costume appears to be a skirt and vest, but actually is a dress that zips up the back. There are three working pockets and a side front walking slit in the skirt.
First Doctor Style Cape First Doctor Style Cape Collar Detail


Based on images of the first Doctor who wore a black wool cloak with fur collar and chain, we created this version featuring matte black satin lining, black velboa faux fur collar and the customer's vintage chain linked lion head clasp.
The Third Doctor style Inverness Cape
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 premade frog closures and arm holes.  The shoulder cape on this cloak is one piece, extending all the way across the back.
Red Satin Lined John Pertwee Style Dr Who Cape



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 red matte satin.  This is different from the purple lined cloak just above in that there is a facing at the front, and the shoulder cape is split in the back, covering the shoulders and arms only.  This cloak also features a cotton velvet collar, five handmade toggle and loop cord closures with five loops each to be closer to the original reference image and wide arm holes.

Thank you Daniel for the great photos!

Vulcan Style Robe Vulcan Style Under Robe
Vulcan Style Robe Side








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
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.
Custom Created Minbari Ranger Outfit Custom Created Minbari Ranger Ensemble

Deckard Inspired Shirt

Deckard shirt detail
 Deckard Inspired Outfit
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.
WWII Captain America Inspired Oufit


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.

Please note:  We are not able to re-create the costume used in the movies.
Dark Phoenix Inspired Ensemble

Dark Phoenix inspired ensemble based on the costume from the film.  This outfit features 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. 
Magneto Inspired Outfit Plague Doctor Marquis Mashup Costume
Custom ordered Magneto inspired costume.  The cloak was made from unlined silk velvet and the trousers and frock coat were created from cardinal wool flannel - colors selected by the customer to match their custom made helmet.

Unfortunately, this is not an item we are able to replicate again.		 This custom ordered black wool flannel robe and hood/shoulder cape combination were inspired by Plague Doctor images and Guy Davis' "The Marquis" images.
Doctor Strange style cloak
This custom ordered cloak was inspired by Dr. Strange comic art.

This one-of-a-kind cloak was made from matte heavyweight red satin and trimmed with a cotton fabric mottled yellow and orange with gold painted swirls.  The collar was heavily interfaced, boned, and contained wire to make the 'antennae' stand up and be moldable yet stay in position.

We are not able to replicate this item.		 Doctor Strange style cloak fabric detail
Roronoa Zoro inspired robe Hiko Inspired Cloak
Custom ordered satin zebra striped robe with black satin facings based on the character Roronoa Zoro. Custom ordered white and red satin cloak based on the character Hiko from the anime/manga series Rurouni Kenshin.
Red Revenge Custom Cloak Time Traveller Andy
Sharon came to us with a cool image for "Red Revenge" shown here.  We made this lightweight 100% cotton twill red cloak with Celtic beasties trim and then distressed the hem to suggest wear and tear as well as several sets of 'claw' marks to go with the rest of her outfit.  Faux blood stains were applied in a few strategic places. Thank you for the cool picture, Sharon!
