Rhinestone Queen Costumes
United States
Registrace 7. 08. 2019
I design costumes, and I LOVE to make dance costumes sparkle!! My body won't let me dance anymore, but I'm "on stage" with every costume I create! I get to work with some wonderful dancers and their families! I just love making performers feel special! I know I've hit a home run when the performer feels like their costume enhanced their performance.
I'm not a professional seamstress or pattern maker, but over the past 20 years that I've been costuming, I've just figured out how to "make it work", and I've managed to produce some beautiful costumes, many of them award-winning. So many people told me that they wish they knew how to do what I do. So, CZcams, here I am!
I want to share my passion and knowledge of costuming with you, whether it's for dance, cos-play, or the theatre. I hope that the videos I post help you make your costume dreams come true!
If there's something specific you want to see, please leave me a note.
