ABBA inspired costumes for Tweez and the Twinkles

We had the pleasure of designing ABBA style costumes for a new customer Louisa who wanted to do something spectacular for her 50th birthday party.  She contacted us looking for three costumes to be made from lycra and lots of sequins, and they had to make the three women look and feel like superstars as well as being flattering to their bodies for their debut performance at her birthday party in June as 'Tweez and the Twinkles'.  Luckily for us and Louisa she contacted us approximately 10 weeks before her big day which meant we had the time to consult with her to get a very clear idea of what she wanted while preparing initial designs.  

After several design drafts to her very specific requirements she finally agreed on the designs and they were put immediately into production.  She was a perfect customer, in that she knew exactly what she wanted, however she was open to new ideas and was willing to trust us when we recommended things to her.  Well the three ABBA style costumes were a great success and Louisa and her friends as well as everyone who watched the show loved them and their costumes.  I've attached her testimonial as well as pictures and a YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rBYAm4ELqA of their performance, I hope you enjoy it!!  If and when you are looking for custom made costumes, etc, we'd love to be the ones to help create your perfect outfit, contact us now at http://www.desiredesignsdesiree.co.uk/

Louisa's Testimonial

"I am absolutely delighted with the fantastic skills of Desire Designs Desiree. Recently I commissioned three Mama Mia, Abba style costumes for a performance given by myself and two friends at my 50th birthday party.  It was a daunting prospect for us middle aged ladies to be thinking about taking to the stage in lycra!  It was our promise to ourselves that we would find someone who would make costumes that would be flattering, original, dazzling and a joy to wear. It was such a delight finding Desire Designs Desiree online. From the moment I had their first response to my enquiry I felt sure that we had found the right people for the job.  It has been a unique and utterly enjoyable experience working with their team. From the start it was clear that I was working with professionals who really knew how to use their skills and experience, a warm, considerate team who were determined to make our stage debut special for us. I felt confident throughout, without even meeting any one of the them, that I was in expert hands.

Every step of the process of designing our costumes was precise with great attention to detail and with much consideration for our greatest wishes, many of which some would otherwise consider impossible.  When the costumes arrived we were absolutely stunned by how amazing they were, so beautifully made and so feminine and lovely to wear. All our worries melted away and we revelled in putting them on and seeing how gorgeous and flattering they were. All three of us felt incredibly comfortable, it was obvious that our dance performance and the need to move freely had been taken into consideration.

On stage we wowed our audience with our outfits and I can honestly say that most women watching that night admitted afterwards to being green with envy that we not only got to sing and dance in but that we also got to keep such beautiful costumes. Apparently, they told us, we glittered and shone, swished and swayed and shimmied in those outfits. For us, on that stage, wearing them made us feel a million dollars and gave us the confidence and ability to give the performance of our lives.  It was a package of not only the creation of perfect costumes but it also included great kindness, consideration and a warmth in the consistent dedication that was shown towards us and our commission by Desire Designs Desiree and it is one I will always treasure.

I am now looking forward to finding an excuse to use them and their skills again.

Louisa"
