Besides dance, one of my very early loves was costume design. For a number of years I was a member of the Greater Bay Area Costumer’s Guild and made a number of costumes ranging from the period correct to the fantastic. Middle Eastern dance opened a whole world of costuming opportunities to me. I have made belly dance costumes for the nightclub as well those that are tribal or folkloric. There are several that can be worn to the Rennaisance Faire. Recently, my costumes are inspired by the fantasy of the Middle East through a 1920’s lens. They appear to be very old Hollywood.
The newest costumes for the Boiler Bar Theater were designed by me and fabricated by myself and Katherine Summer. I also designed and fabricated the hats.
Scottie’s costume that I made for the Boiler Bar Theater fire act was created from an 80’s prom dress! Take a look here.
