Looking for a seamstress/costume maker to recreate 3 vampire costumes

$1,000

Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

27th Aug 2026

Hi! I’m looking for an experienced seamstress, dressmaker or costume designer who can recreate three custom costumes for myself and two friends, based on the reference photos attached. We’re wanting the ethereal/gothic vampire look from the references, with each girl having a slightly different costume: • ivory/gold two-piece with draped sheer fabric • white/cream flowing gown with corset-style detailing • blush pink/cream flowing gown with gold embellishments They don’t need to be exact screen-accurate replicas, but we’d love them to be as close to the references as reasonably possible, particularly the silhouettes, sheer/draped fabrics, gold detailing and overall romantic gothic look. We’re happy to discuss fabrics and ways to recreate the detailing without making the costumes unnecessarily expensive. They only need to photograph beautifully and have the same overall effect as the originals. We can provide individual measurements for all three girls and attend fittings in Sydney if required. Looking for someone who can assist with: • pattern making/adapting existing patterns • fabric sourcing or advising us what to purchase • sewing and construction • gold trims/embellishments • fitting and alterations Please send through examples of previous costume, bridal, formalwear or similar work if possible. Budget: Open to quotes. Please let me know your estimated cost for all three costumes, or your price per costume. I’ve attached multiple reference images showing the costumes from different angles. Thank you! ♡
