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.

Lyrical dress

I had a lot of chiffon fabric pieces left over from some
ballroom dresses so I have put them to use in this
gorgeous lyrical dress. They were already almost the right shape, so it didn't take much time to trim them and edge them and add the simple style lycra bodice. This multi toned chiffon looks beautiful when it moves, there are 21 panels in three layers, the top two layers are open panels, the bottom layer is sewn into a skirt.
You can find this dress in my Folksy shop.

The finished dress...

...And here is the finished result, it turned out quite well considering she changed her mind on the style several times after I had started it and then pointed out she was doing me a favour as I would come across much more difficult customers than her, HA I don't think so!
