Initial design drafts 

Dumbledore inspired - custom made

After going over some design options and preferences with the original Dumbledore costumes with Theo's team, we settled on some fabulous fabric choices to really create something special for Theo. Including cast filigree clasps, silk brocade and velvet trims. 

I was pleased to work with Theo during the fittings to curate a cape and two hat options to his preference. The making process took around a month on and off and I loved every second of it knowing that Theo would be the best dressed at his annual TPRG conference-I am biased of course.

"Last week we held our first TPRG Conference for three years, and I'd like to give a special thanks to a brilliant detail-oriented young designer that really brought the magic by pulling this fantastic costume together. Thank you @zeta.costume for your fabulous work from drawing board designs, to fittings and ensuring a fantastic end costume and choice of hats! You delivered exactly what we were after!”
