Ok, enough of that third person talk! Hi, I\u2019m Marie!<\/p>\n

As a former - and now returning - figure skater, I feel that my firsthand experience with wearing performance spandex costuming gives me valuable insight into the needs of the athletes I design for - fit, function AND visibility!<\/p>\n

I design and create custom costuming for figure skaters, pro wrestlers, synchro swimmers, dancers, gymnasts, custom club wear, super hero cosplay, baton twirling, and more. <\/p>\n

If it\u2019s spandex, odds are I can and will do it. Budget and physics* permitting, of course! <\/p>\n

I can design an outfit from a description of an idea, from scratch, or from a supplied design. Feel free to contact me about your specific needs.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Additionally - as an autistic woman myself - I am well versed in working around sensory issues, and can work with you to create a garment that is comfortable, functional, and attractive.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to welcome my past, present, and future clients to my new spandex costuming website, enjoy!<\/p>\n

Marie <\/p>\n

\"Several<\/p>\n

Now Available - Soakers!<\/h4>\n

By popular request, the soakers I make and sell at local competitions are now available for purchase online!<\/p>\n

These soakers are made in small batches - only 2-6 pairs are available in each style! Most of the fabrics are ones we won't be able to get again ... so if you see something you like, be sure to grab it before it's gone. Makes a great gift for the skaters in your life!<\/p>\n
