Costumes with edge and stage presence.
I design and make custom costumes for performers, competitors, and dancers who want something bold, striking, and made with care. My work often explores fracture, contrast, texture, and dramatic focal points that come alive under stage lighting. I love daring and unusual themes and weird pop culture references.
About
I make custom costumes with a focus on strong visual concepts, flattering lines, and performance-ready construction. My style leans bold rather than delicate: contrast, tension, unusual shapes, layered surfaces, and details that catch the light in motion.
Every piece is designed individually with the dancer, music, and theme in mind. I also have customisable designs ready to choose from if you're not sure where to start.
What I Make
- Custom, rule compliant competition costumes
- Custom practice wear / simple sets
- Statement pieces for showcases & photoshoots
- Hats, props & accessories
- Ice skating dresses & gymnastics leotards
- Cosplay, LARP, leisure, and historical costume

Pole Dance Costume Starting Prices
Every costume is custom, so final pricing depends on design complexity, materials, and embellishment. These are starting prices.
Simple Custom Design
Clean custom set with two colours, a simpler construction and minimal embellishment (3gr rhinestones).
Detailed Custom Design
More complex design work, three or more colours, layered fabrics or extra construction details, specialist 3D printed parts and/or heavier embellishment (5gr+ rhinestones).
Basic Training Set
Simple but striking training sets in one or two colours. Also suitable as a competition base set for those who like to add their own rhinestones.
Special fabrics, 3D printed details and embellishments, extensive rhinestoning, mirrors, unusual materials, or rush orders may increase the final price. Rhinestones are measured in gross (1 gr = 144 stones) and can be size SS16-20. Larger stones and shapes also available.
Core Range
Simple, repeatable designs available in custom colours and finishes.
Aavikko Asymmetric Top
Clean, unique cut designed for training and performance.
Signature Shorts
Comfortable, secure fit, high waist with full coverage. Split proof! POSA compliant.
X Mesh Top
Flattering, daring design that still provides good coverage.
Hi-cut Signature Shorts
Higher cut version of signature shorts. Still with full coverage where it counts. Still split proof! Garters optional.
Halter top
Classic halter top, fastened by press-studs and hooks, or alternatively bikini fasteners. Mesh lining.
Hi-cut low rise asymmetric shorts
High cut classic shorts that sit lower, with or without asymmetric garter and waist strap details.
Starting price of the core range is for a garment made in shiny or matte finish dance lycra, in either one single colour, or a main colour with contrasting binding/straps. All the core range garments can be customised in specialist fabrics of your choice (eg. printed, foiled, velvet, mesh inserts) which will usually incur extra cost.
