Commissions are currently unavailable. This tends to happen as we approach a major deadline of our own or all of our limited commission slots have been taken. You can still contact us to find out when we expect commissions to become available (you can also check our events page to see what our schedule looks like) but we can't guarantee that we'll get back to you in a timely manner.

Looking for an awesome costume piece made just for you?  You've come to the right place! 

Please read through the following guidelines and then use the form at the bottom of the page to get a quote:

• Commission availability will depend on the types of commissions we end up taking. We are less likely to accept commissions with deadlines near any major conventions we might be attending, so be sure to check out our Events page to double check our schedule! We also reserve the right to choose which commissions we accept.

• Slot availability:

  • Closed for 2021: We are not currently taking commissions for 2021, 2020 was rough on us mentally (as it was for everyone) and we're only just starting to feel better/aren't currently in the headspace to work on commissions or do quotes (they take a lot of time). We might open later in the year for 2022 commissions (check back around august)!

  • note: Not taking commissions on *full* head to toe looks, complex armor builds or extremely fitted looks such as corsetry (since covid 19 is still a huge risk in the US, we do not want to risk inadvertent transmission with shipping muslin fittings back and forth and ofc cannot currently do in person local fittings)

  • Covid-19 info: With the global pandemic interfering with shipping/supply chains, things are a little more difficult to source atm and will take longer to build/ship. We cannot guarantee exact deadlines at this time due to the uncertain nature of all these things.

•  Commission availability depends on type. We are less likely to accept commissions with deadlines near any major conventions we might be attending, so be sure to check out our Events page to double check our schedule! We also reserve the right to  decline commission requests. 
  
   
• Commission quotes take time! If you are planning to lose/gain weight or change your body shape significantly, please wait to submit the form until you can take accurate measurements (your measurements effect how much fabric is needed/shipping costs and patterning time)
  
   
• Custom work takes time!  We need to thoroughly research and gather supplies for your piece, not to mention the time spent making the thing. Generally we like to have at 1-2 months (depending on the size and complexity of your piece) before your deadline to make sure you can get the best possible work from us! 
  
   
• Be realistic with your budget! You are paying for our time & skill in addition to the cost of the materials, so please consider this when coming up with your budget. For example, most wig work starts at $90 and can easily go up from there. Individual garment pieces usually start between $100-300 and can up, depending on complexity. If a garment requires stylization painting (cel-shading, etc), this will add exponentially to the final cost. We offer payment plans for work that costs more that $100!
   
• Custom listings can either go through  our etsy store or simply through a paypal invoice if you prefer.  A down payment of 50% of the estimated cost (or cost of materials) is required before ANY work will begin on big ticket items (anything over $100). For custom items under $100 (smaller items), we require the full cost up front.
  
  Please take a look through our costume portfolio to get a feel for what work we excel at.
   
• NOTE: We do not accept any kind of cryptocurrency as payment!
