Looking for solid colors?

We carry most if not all colors and in a wide variety
of shades. All our colors are high quality, 4-way
stretch. Use our link at top of page to see our
other solid colors, prints, and metallics.

The nude colored skinsuit at right is covered in
a random pattern of glitter and rhinestones. This
nude color is perfect when you need a good skin-tone
lycra. It's also in a regular weight/thickness for a
lycra fabric at almost 6oz which means it's not
see-through. It is not a mesh, it's really regular lycra.
It is all 4-way stretch and extremely comfortable.


Workmanship and Fast Turn-Arounds

One of our achievements is the ability to construct a skinsuit so close to the dancer's, actors
athlete's measurements that in most cases a second fitting is not necessary. Good measurements
are a bonus when an exact fit is required, however when measurements are not available, usually
height and weight can suffice. A pattern is made for the client so duplicates are quick. turn-around
time can be as quick as 24-72 hours depending on the detail and deadline.

for his SciFi television special.

For SBC Show

PARADE PERFORMANCE WEAR:

SBC Blue: Costumes all royal blue with narrow 1/2" side stripe from head to ankle using blue halogram fabric cut to fit as a highlight stripe for sparkle. These costumes came with connected hood, removable gloves and booties. By making the gloves and booties removable you can fit many sizes in one costume. All booties came with padded insoles for walking comfort. The official "SBC" logo was screenprinted using white stretch ink, for durability and stretchability; small pocket sized logo printed on front.



For ATT/SBC Promotion


COSTUMES FOR "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?"

Folks all over the U.S. are auditioning for this fun show. Each person must create their own superhero as well as the story behind their super powers, or super abilities. If you have a creative idea for an original costume, give us a call, we can turn your idea into reality, and who knows, YOU could be the next Superhero! Costume pictured (at left) is the sole property of the creator, we don't duplicate these costumes for anyone but the artist/owner of the costume.

Give us a call at: (760) 240-2862.



For ATT/SBC Promotion


COSTUMES FOR BUSINESS MERGERS AND PROMOTIONS

AT&T Hired us to create a new costume to help them promote the merger with SBC. These costumes
are made with a royal blue lycra and the graphics of the globe on the arm and leg have been screenprinted in white ink. The AT&T logo is screenprinted on the pocket logo on the front.

As you can see costuming is not just for showbiz. These costumes are regularly used to help promote products, services, and business mergers.




"BODYKNOTS" Each sleeve, glove, leg, bootie, torso, and hood were printed a different color to help create this effect. Check out Howard Schatz' website for an unbelievable photo display. We have provided a direct link from our "Home" page.(www.howardschatz.com). Photos used with permission from Howard Schatz, copyright 2000 Schatz/Ornstein, from the book BODYKNOTS (Rizzoli, 2000)


What the client requested and what we created for them. We can create a 3-dimensional costume from a 2-dimensional artist drawing. We're always happy when our clients client is happy.

Entertainment Industry

In the film industry we work with production company's and costume designers. We are listed with SHOPPING LA, the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER BLU-BOOK, and the online directory CREATIVE PLANET. We also understand that for any given assignment, lead-time is usually at a minimum and deadlines also change at the last minute, in some cases we've been able to deliver within 3-4 days. We work with your design or we can assist you with design ideas. We can also provide on-site costume alterations and adjustments.

Our capabilities also go beyond the call for last-minute dancewear/costumes, if you need promotional and unique items like dog tags, t-shirts etc., we can save you having to look elsewhere. We have full printing capibilities in-house. We don't need to go elsewhere to have production provided. (you think I'm kidding!!!) :-)





Fabrics and Other Materials

OTHER FABRICS WE WORK WITH: Of course in addition to Lycra/spandex, we work with cotton lycra, glistenette, glittery stretch panne velvets, stretch laces, polartec fleeces, some stretch vinyl, shiny metallic lycras, closed-cell foam. We can also create belts, lycra booties, masks, gloves, capes, applique.
