Burlesque Costumes
Bespoke burlesque costume is an art form that is full of glamour and surprises. House of Flying Stitches understand how to create show-stopping costumes with many tricks, teases and sparkles, and also maintain practicalities.
Louise’s years of experience of stage managing and producing cabaret shows has given us valuable insight to create the wow factor on stage visually and technically. Combined with Yuan’s 20 years experience as an evening wear designer, her pattern cutting and millinery skills, we are able to create a wide range of costumes with creativity, practicality and refined craftsmanship.
Our Clientele
We have designed and created costumes for many top international burlesque performers, such as Eliza Delite, Jolie Papillon, Betsy Rose, Didi Derriere, Demi Noir, Fallon Dee and Clea de Velour to name a few. We also utilise our experience to help new performers create costumes for their debut shows to start their burlesque journey.
