This workshop is a deep dive into the technical side of high-end costuming. We’re moving past basic DIY to focus on the engineering required for stage-ready garments.

What to Expect

This is a hands-on dive into the practical side of professional glamour for the stage. We’re moving past basic methods and entering the realm of structural seduction. You will learn:

Contouring with Crystals: How to map out stone placement and  to sculpt the body, highlight curves, and create optical illusions that enhance your silhouette.

Composition, bedazzling on a budget, and layering to maximize impact!

Who This Is For

Skill Level: All Levels. Whether you’re a "Stoning Virgin" or a seasoned seamstress, we scale the techniques to your speed. If you can hold a precision and have a taste for the theatrical, you’re in.

What to Bring & Wear

Wear: Something comfortable!

Bring: * The "Work in Progress": Bring one costume piece (finished or unfinished) that needs a signature touch or structural reinforcement.

Your Inspiration: Any sketches, fabric swatches, or mood boards for your upcoming projects.
