Millinery
Hats and head gear complete a character's ensemble.
A milliner can decorate an already made hat, or build one from scratch using a variety of methods. Above you will see a felt pulled hat, and two wire and buckram hats.

Wonderflex and Fosshape
Wonderflex and fosshape can be used to create enless possibilities from armor, to dimensionality in fabric costumes, or an entire costume.

Dyeing and Painting
Fabric dyeing is invaluable to a costume designer. When you cannot find exactly what you are looking for in a fabric store, you can make it.
Above you will see a peacock silk painted scarf. More to come shortly from dyeing samples I have made.
