Testimonials

I have the utmost respect and admiration for Catherine. I first commissioned her help for the embroidery work of my Princess Zelda cosplay. Photos don't do the end result justice! It is easily the key feature of that whole cosplay and the first thing anyone asks me about when I'm wearing it. People always ask for a closer look and are as stunned by her beautiful work as I am. I enlisted her skill again for my Queen Cersei coronation gown. This was around the time there were little references for the gown itself. Catherine basically became an engineer. She worked everything out from the pattern to a petticoat to give the gown the same structure as the one in the series. She even sourced the golden material underneath when I was having trouble finding some myself and spent hours hand-punching EACH INDIVIDUAL HOLE in the pleather. She has incredible dedication to her projects and it shows in everything she produces. Nothing I have from her has worn down or torn. She even provided instruction on how to care for all the pieces I have from her.

On top of doing outstanding work, Catherine has excellent communication with clients. She provides regular updates on her processes and will ensure everything is coming together with multiple fittings. Amazing work, amazing person. Cannot sing her praises highly enough! Thank you, Catherine!

Catherine was the fabricator for my Kylo Ren replica costume before Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released. Her level of in-depth research into every nook and cranny of a costume and her desire to balance practical wearability without compromising on cosmetic accuracy renders Catherine a true professional in the art and craft of screen-accurate costume making.

By far one of the best commissions I've ordered. Cathy was amazing to communicate with and any questions I had were answered promptly and in-depth. The process was also the most thorough I've been through out of all the things I've ever commissioned. The contract, costume mock-up and notes regarding the try-on sample were easy to understand and any suggestions I had or comments I made were taken on board. The final product is absolutely incredible and the attention to detail, down to things I hadn't even noticed in my initial research of the design are there. It still fits perfectly and I would recommend Cathy and Illumis Creations to anyone.
