There are 5 main steps in the creation of a custom project, spread over several weeks: Explain your project: Start by explaining your project to us. You can do this in writing or in a discussion, sharing your ideas, your character's needs and the key elements of the costume. Inspirational photos, whether of designs you like in our portfolio or from other sources, are important. Also discuss budget, colors and materials. Quotation: We'll present you with a detailed quotation, often illustrated by sketches. The aim is to clarify and define the project so that we can reach a mutual agreement. Project start: Once you have made the 50% deposit or paid in full, the project becomes a contract and officially begins. It is at this stage that we start purchasing materials and taking measurements. Production: Our team begins production of your custom project. Depending on the type of project, one or more fittings may be required (distance permitting). Production time also depends on the waiting list for other projects. Project delivery: We will hand over your project to you at a final fitting or by shipment, according to agreed arrangements. Full payment must be made before you pick up the costume. Now you're ready to enjoy your new costume at your next event!
