Annalise Walker 

Hi there,

I'm Annalise, a freelance costume maker and seamstress based in Bolsover, Derbyshire.

​

My portfolio includes a mixture of costume work created for television, museums, pantomime, performance and dance.

I thoroughly enjoy creating for a variety of concepts and I love what ideas my clients bring to the table, I have created historical attire, fantasy creatures, themed costumes, dance wear, large 3D builds and much more. 

​

My skills include advanced pattern drafting, draping, millinery, corsetry, 3D Hardmake, costume distressing, embroidery and historical construction all of which are tailored to suit each individual project.  

​

Operating from a well-equipped home studio with specialist industrial machinery allows for every garment to be made in a professional environment with high standards. Eager for new challenges, I welcome diverse costume and dressmaking projects, no matter how complex or unique.

​

I can work on an individual client basis or freelance for larger companies.

I collaborate with clients to transform their own designs and ideas into reality, or I can provide support in bringing their visions to life. 

​

"I am a passionate maker with a keen eye for historical pieces and creature/fantasy builds. 

What sets me apart though, is my precision when creating surface textures and intricate embellishments. I am fascinated in producing lifelike textile pieces that enhance the surface of garments, giving a unique and truly realistic presence."
