Frequently asked questions

I offer both. Custom costumes are made-to-measure and designed collaboratively, while ready-made costumes are pre-designed pieces available for purchase and are often available at a lower price point than a custom look

Each costume is unique, but I can design something inspired by a past piece — tailored to your needs, colour palette, and performance style.

Most custom pieces take around 4–6 weeks, depending on the design complexity and material availability. Rush orders may be possible depending on current workload — if you have a specific deadline, reach out and I’ll do my best to make it work.

Pricing depends on the design complexity, materials, and embellishment level. Simple base designs start at an accessible rate, while fully embellished or bespoke performance pieces are priced higher. Once I receive your completed form and have a clear idea of your design, I'll provide a detailed quote and timeline before starting production.

Just reach out through the contact form or email to get started. After our initial chat, I'll send you an online design form to fill out. This form captures all the important details like your theme, music, inspiration images, colour palette, and any practical requirements like sleeve length or skin coverage. This way, I can fully understand your vision before moving forward with sketches, fabric selection, and quotes.

Once your design is confirmed and your deposit is paid, your costume will move into production. I’ll keep you updated during key stages — such as fabric sourcing, fitting checks (if local or needed), and final rhinestone detailing — until it’s ready to ship or collect. Please note that a deposit is required before any production begins on your costume following acceptance of your quote.

Absolutely! I handle alterations, repairs, and rhinestone touch-ups for both Kat & Mouse costumes and external pieces (depending on their condition). Whether it's replacing elastic, resizing, or adding extra details to fit your performance needs, I've got you covered.
