We also custom make anything from renaissance costumes to whatever is in your head.A little about Chris:Clothing design and construction has long been a passion for me, ever since my mother and grandmother (who’s father was a tailor and musician) first put a needle in my hands and taught me how to stitch a ruffle when I was barely starting school. Since then I haven’t stopped. My mother taught me all she knew from being self taught so I knew there was more to learn and I wanted to learn as much as I could.By the time I was 12years old I began making my own clothes. I had a wonderful church I was going to at the time and they had a great youth program with lots of arts & crafts, which I loved. So in the summer of 1966 a sewing class on how a to make your own summer dresses was offered. Oh yeah I thought! I was so excited and they had everything there I needed to make my perfect summer dress. I picked my pattern and some pretty light green fabric and made my dress. When it came time to model it something was wrong. Something was very wrong, because it wasn’t comfortable and it just didn’t fit right. I later learn from our teacher I had cut the fabric inside out. Who knew!? Not me that there was a right way and a wrong way. It was a fun wonderful experience and with all they taught me I continued to study and practice.Soon I started designing and constructing my own patterns for my own designs. I’d show up to school in my own creations. Some of them where super bright and crazy patterns and some of the kids thought I was weird, but I loved them. I did the same for my daughhter as soon as she was born. Making her little outfits and dresses. Constructing and designing costumes and time period pieces became a passion of my daughters as well. When she started college and was taking drama classes she pushed me to show the drama teacher my costumes. From there I was asked by students to create their renaissance costumes and immediately hired for the next three plays as wardrobe lady. So not only did I build costumes but also had to look and buy period pieces for the plays, which was wonderfully fun.My daughter pushed me through her love of vintage clothing and by the spring of 2005 had gotten her own opportunity as the wardrobe and makeup lady in Los Angeles for student films and independents. She then called me in to assist her for a few day and had a great time. I think that really pushed me more into pursuing my own work and now my daughter and I have became partners in designs and construction of costumes of all periods, one of a kind Couture clothing and sale of true vintage clothing and accessories as well.
