Recent projects.
For Emerald Fennell’s recent adaptation, we produced 11 menswear costume repeats. Bespoke tailoring and fine shirting for Heathcliff and Edgar Linton, within 17 working days to meet a tight filming deadline. Work was delivered in close collaboration with head costume cutter Ian Frazer Wallace and the in-house workroom team, providing additional making capacity during principal photography.
Wuthering Heights
For Series 4, we produced 83 costumes across principal, day player and crowd. All cut, developed and built in close collaboration with the in-house design team. Including the finale bridal gown worn by leading lady Yerin Ha, and the "Silver Dress": a hero costume integral to the plot, and featured extensively in the series’ marketing.
Bridgerton Series 4
Wicked was one of our most demanding and rewarding projects to date. Working under head cutter Ian Frazer Wallace, we produced extensive repeat costumes for Ariana Grande's Glinda. Built to match the exacting standard of the originals developed by the in-house team. The scope extended to complex pattern adaptation for stunt doubles, ensuring continuity across every repeat seen on screen. In total: 1,778 hours of specialist making across six months.
For the sequel, Wicked: For Good, we took on a different challenge; the bespoke development and build of the hero costume for Glinda's mother, created from scratch in 309 hours across only 16 working days. The piece required complex technical pattern cutting and construction, as well as extensive surface embellishment in silk chiffon and organza, to meet the visual standard of a hero costume in a Paul Tazewell-designed production.
