COUTURE COSTUMES
Couture Costume Dancewear prides itself on making sure our customers love everything about their costumes & dancewear.

WHAT CAN COUTURE DO FOR YOU?
-
Every style on our website is customisable! We love to mix & match front & back of styles. We can also change the height of leglines, open/close up the back of leotard/crops and create to make your feel fabulous!
-
See our STYLE UPGRADES Section for design 'ADD ONS' like Pleated Overlays or Added Straps or to use FANCY fabrics like Metallic, Wetlook or Stretch Satin etc.
-
We can make your costume using your measurements; that's preferred! See our SIZING page on how to measure!

Work together to create to you or your dance teacher's specifications.

We have SO many cute accessories to choose from! See our COSTUME ACCESSORIES range to inpso!

We can advise on fabric choices for specific needs.

Custom pricing is subject to complexity of design, accessories needed & the fabrics you choose.

For custom designs & costumes we ask you to please provide as much lead time as possible; however we understand routines can be 'thrown together' for a comp & if you need a costume we can generally & prefer to work to your deadline but it won't be possible every time. However there might be something perfect on our website in our READY TO SHIP section; so always best to keep an eye on that page or our INSTAGRAM Stories for new uploads!
-
Fully custom costumes will come with an admin fee of $10 per costume. And groups min $15 per group, this includes preparation of sizing (converting & allocating measurements), email comms & custom document prep.

We are happy to help with group sizing, if you would like us to allocate your sizing prior to ordering please send through your full list, Otherwise if you have already ordered we are happy to crosscheck the sizing you have selected to make sure it's correct. Both of these options will incur a small admin fee.

IN SUMMARY - Please send through what you have in mind and we can either direct you to some styles one our website to purchase or we can custom make from scratch. We will also need the rough size (measurements straight up if possible), your location & a due date to check whether we have the capacity for your timeline.
Please keep in mind that custom styles are pricier due to the fact that we create the pattern from scratch and availability for these are very limited, and we have heaps of options online to build your dream costume! Also please note that we are strictly base makers, so any embellishments would need to be taken care of on your end.
