Costume Maker & Seamstress

Hi there, 
Im Annalise, a freelance costume maker and seamstress based in Bolsover, Derbyshire.
I have created costumes and dressmaking for a large variety of clients from television, museums, pantomimes, dance performances to private clients for weddings and special occasions. 

With advanced skills in pattern drafting, millinery, corsetry, leather, large 3D hard make, embroidery, and historical construction, I bring ideas to life with precision and creativity.

Working from my fully equipped home studio, I deliver high-quality, professional craftsmanship tailored to each unique project.

​

I welcome individual commissions and freelance collaborations. Let's create something extraordinary together!

Rigor Mortis - Professional Wrestler

"I honestly can’t recommend Annalise enough. From the very beginning she was friendly, polite, professional and incredibly accommodating. She really took the time to understand my vision and exactly what I wanted to achieve.
I’m very particular when it comes to my costumes and the finer details, but Annalise had so much patience with me. She was meticulous with the designs, offered some great advice and even took the time to test different fabrics to make sure everything was just right.
She put so much time and care into the fittings, making sure the costume fitted me exactly how I wanted it. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
The finished outfit is absolutely incredible and the quality is outstanding. I’ve had so many people within my team and the wrestling industry ask me where I had it made. Several of my colleagues have since gone to Annalise and had their own costumes made, which I think speaks volumes about the quality of her work.
She’s genuinely amazing at what she does, incredibly talented and an absolute pleasure to work with. I’m so happy with the finished result and couldn’t have asked for anything better.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for something special, and I’m already looking forward to working with her on more projects in the future!"
