An Introduction...

Welcome to Starlight Costumes, I hope you enjoy your visit.

I have been interested in theatrical costumes since childhood and learned to sew at a very early age. I design and make historical costumes, dance and theatrical costumes, fancy dress, prom dresses and bridesmaid gowns.

Spring has sprung...



It's a lovely spring day today...made me break out the spring fabrics!

This cute little outfit was made from two 1/2 yards of fabric that contrast nicely, I added a small band of the top fabric to the bottom of the skirt.

Pretty in pink....



Another style of wrap over dress, this one has waist ties with a button detail and is made in the prettiest pink with daisy pattern fabric.

St patrick's day...



Another recycled denim skirt. This time I added a pleated trim and big fabric ties in a faux patchwork shamrocks printed cotton. It would make a lovely themed skirt to wear at a St Patrick's day celebration.

Toddler's cutie...



I had just a small amount of this cute Winnie the Pooh cotton fabric, but it was enough to make this retro styled pinafore in a toddler size!

Fairies in the garden...



I had just enough of this beautiful fairy fabric to make this little dress. I designed it as a sundress style (though you could use it over a t shirt or long sleeved top) with a buttoned back and stretchy straps for comfort.

I don't expect to keep this one for long!

All wrapped up...





A new design completed. This little wrapover dress is made in a gorgeous daisy cotton print and a plain cotton blend. It has a lined top and panelled skirt and fastens at the side with a pretty bow. The deep hem and front ties give it plenty of growing room!
