"I ordered a tailor-made mermaid costume for my daughter for her fancy horse show competition. Though we started everything from scratch, the process was professionally smooth, and the delivery was on time as I requested. My daughter got a lot of compliments on her mermaid." - Bo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

THANK YOU! Thank you for saying thank you! It means a lot. Each review is valued feedback, and as a small business making things by hand, I know each piece that leaves the studio, and I am always interested in knowing how your kids enjoyed them.

Special thanks to Bo for sharing pictures (there is a wonderful reel on her account showing the make over if the house, too!) 🧜‍♀️🌊💜🩵💚😍

As I'm trying to find my head again after the Halloween rush I'm sharing a little throwback with you: Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, aka Headless Nick as imagined and tailored for last year's Halloween.
.. more Harry Potter inspired costumes to come next week. 😉🧙‍♂️🪄💜

I hope you all had a magical weekend. Whether you went to the International Book Festival here in Luxembourg or are prepping for autumn and Halloween in a far away place. 🍂🍄🎃

I've been busy doing a little stock take this weekend and updated what is still available and what is already sold. There is plenty of great fun to be had yet. A few Mad Hatter hats are back in stock after dispatching all the pre-orders last week. A raven bird cape, astronauts, and little red riding hoods as well as plenty of pirate vests are still available as well as a few Count Draculas. I'm running low on some sashes and there is only ONE pirate hat left, but circus kids can still have plenty of fun. There is something for everyone, - even a couple of things that fit mum and dad.

For those living in the U.S. and Canada, please choose express shipping if you still need anything in time for Halloween. For Europe including the UK, I will try to dispatch as soon as possible to ensure timely arrival, but I urge you to order this week to avoid disspointment or message me if you have any questions. Spain and Italy always take a little longer, - sorry. And if you live in Luxembourg, there is free shipping on most items.

Remember the reel of the studio tour I posted a couple of weeks ago? Well, things have been slightly more disorderly and busy this week. Custom orders are in full swing and mermaids have met with wizards and medieval spirits under the sewing machine. All of this while trying to dispatch your ready to ship orders as soon as possible and ... not so much staying in touch here on social media.

Oh, and motherhood. Yes, there are also kids to nurture, meals too be cooked, and clothes to be washed.

And I will - as usual - be available via messages this weekend, too. If you have a question regarding sizing or shipping times. 🙂

But for now: Happy Friday!

It's been a busy week and today was drafting day for a bespoke commission for Halloween. Going through this stage of making a costume is like stepping through a gateway. You've made the sketch and considered all the materials and finishes, but drafting the pattern really determines the shape and how 2D will become 3D.

Plus you need to think of the process of sewing later on and how your construction will hold together and drape and move and feel. How will the lining sit? How will the cuff be sewn? How slim do you want the shawl collar to be?

"My lady looks so gentle and so pure..." Elena & Beatrice ( .mareels ) couldn't have found better words - Dante Alighieri - to introduce my renaissance dress to you. Thank you to both of them for these wonderful pictures and for bringing my costume to life. 😍

I will share more as well as all the background to how this dress came about in due course, but this week is a busy one (6 weeks to Halloween), and I am a little overwhelmed. Perfect timing, in fact, for a little motivation boost by receiving these pictures back from Elena and seeing this dress come to life.

I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do.

Met a bunch of lovely mushrooms in the woods the other day catching the autumn sunlight ...🍄🌳🍂

It's been ages since I wanted to make mushroom hats. And - to be expected from me - it wasn't enough to make ONE mushroom hat. No, I had to play around and ended up with THREE versions. Small & tall, the all-rounder, and the extra wide.

You see, it's all about the character of the mushroom, and given they fit all head sizes (kids as well as adults), I can imagine them being a good family dress-up option. So, variety is of the essence.

In any case, I hope to have them in the shop at the end of the week and then make a batch next week. DM me if you want to put down your name for one (or three).

"Out of this world!", "Such high quality", "It looks amazing", "It fits perfectly and looks really beautiful."

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Your feedback is so important to me. Working away in my little studio here in Luxembourg I have very little customer face time. So, every email, every little star on an Etsy review and every photo you send to me or share showing off one of my creations is so very important to me. Not only are they vital to grow my little business but they are also an engine to my motivation, let me know whether my items fit, meet your quality standards and enjoyed by your kids as much as imagined they would be.

So, let me know. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏

Which size to buy? My general advice is to go with the age and height of your child. I make all my patterns to standard sizes for each age group and leave ease for about 1 year in. This is a tricky business since you want to avoid for the garment to look like a potato sack one year and a tight sock the next.

But clever design and 10 years of experience when it comes to designing kids costumes means I can allow for growth without forgoing style.

Upturned cuffs are a great way to accommodate growing limbs and open fronted garments accommodate a shifting belly. ... Little tricks.

And if you aren't sure, just get in touch. A made to order item can always be adjusted and if we go bespoke, I can make patterns fitting your child perfectly. 🪡

Back to work! The studio is open for business.

Cherished are those memories when I sketched at the beach over breakfast. Grazie all'Italia per una meravigliosa (e caldissima) estate.

I hope you all had/ have a great summer. I know some across the pond are already back in school while our kids can enjoy a few more weeks of joyful boredom and summer adventures. For those ready to plan their autumn, please get in touch asap regarding bespoke Halloween commissions.

Olympic greetings to you all. Coming back from the holidays to some wonderful pictures of my Olympic torch headdress and Phrygian caps at Paris 2024.
😍🙏🔥🫶🥇
Did you enjoy the Games?
As much as I admired the athletic achievements, I must admit my heart was with the artistic and artisan skill that was behind putting on the opening and closing ceremonies.
Who would have thought upcycling your old VHS tapes could look so dramatic and wonderful as the costume for the pianist in the closing ceremony. Or the beautiful silver leather work on the Jeanne D'Arc rider delivering the Olympic flag? Or the many wonderful details in the pink Paris crowd. The croissant lady? 😁🥐❤️
Hats (or JPG caps) off to and .jolly for thinking up such inspired events (inspite of weather and long speeches 😉).

Faster, higher, stronger, together! Wishing all the Olympians great games. Peace and friendship are symbolised by the Olympic flame. May they prevail.
.. and for those lucky enough to watch some of the sporting events live: there is a prize to be won for the one who spots my Olympic torch head and sends me a picture. 🔦🥇🔥🥳

Phrygian Cap or Flaming Head? Whichever you choose, I hope you are ready for the Olympics. ... we're getting rather excited here. The opening ceremony is always a special highlight for me. And this time around, I've seen some sneak peaks of what Daphne Bürki and Thomas Jolly .jolly have created on French TV and the costumes look like a fab combo of historical style meets high tech fabric. Very existing!

🇫🇷 Bonnet phrygien ou tête enflammée ? Quel que soit votre choix, j'espère que vous êtes prêts pour les Jeux olympiques. ... nous sommes plutôt excités ici. La cérémonie d'ouverture est toujours un moment fort pour moi. Et cette fois-ci, j'ai vu quelques aperçus de ce que Daphne Bürki et Thomas Jolly ont créé à la télévision française et les costumes semblent être un fabuleux mélange de style historique et de tissu de haute technologie. Je suis très impatient!

It's show time. The last few weeks of school are under way here and they are all about putting on a show whether it's on the sports field or the stage.
It was lovely re-working this vintage flapper dress, sewing a matching slip dress with tassle fringe and fitting feather shoulder flaps.

I vividly remember making all these fairy outfits, dip dying and distressing them, hand sewing silk flowers and lichen in them. Fabric covered twines as jewellery and gilded stick crowns were all part of the set. A wonderfully organic process over a couple of weeks in the summer. Magical moments.

And I'm happy another fairy and her companion is now coming to life again in another child. Creating memories is what it's all about. For me and for you.

The simplest tunic can become many characters with a bit of imagination (... and a few accessories).

I've been sewing with this wonderful linen and made a tunic as part of the outfit. It is possibly the plainest garment to make. No frills, no buttons, no zip, nothing but natural linen. But it is also a timeless classic, able to transform into anything from a Maharadja to an explorer to a pirate to a knight.

Hey there, awesome parents!
I'm super curious about how you pick out the coolest costumes for your kids. Could you take a minute to fill out my survey? Your answers will help me make sure I've got just what you need for those fun dress-up days.
Plus there are a few questions in there for those looking for adult costumes, too.
And if you never purchased a costume from me before: answer anyway, in fact, answer especially!

I would love to hear from as many people as possible. Working as a small artisan, I don't have a marketing team or a research department. With your help, I can grow and understand what you like (and don't) much better.
