Theatrical Costumes – bespoke to your requirements



Some productions require very specific costumes for certain characters and although we have a massive stock of great costumes to choose from, it is sometimes necessary to make special bespoke costumes, made to measure.

We have recently made a beautiful set of medieval style costumes for a production of The Tempest, working with the client to choose fabrics and designs to suit the characters in the play.

From the old wise man Gonzalo in his thick brocade coat and breeches, the wealthy Prospero in a luxurious wine velvet tunic and breeches with gold trim, to a jester and servant which were made to look like characters from a comic strip.

Other projects include medieval dresses and cloaks for a photo-shoot, a guard for the Emerald City and a wolf for Red Riding Hood.

For more information on our costumes please visit www.admiralcostumes.co.uk or give us a call on 01908 372504

Oliver Twist Costume Set


Oliver Twist Costumes

Oliver remains a popular choice of musical for both stage and drama schools due to the number of young people required for the cast.
The well-known story by Charles Dickens, tells of the young Oliver Twist growing up as an orphan in the poorhouse. He is sold to an undertaker, but escapes to live rough on the streets of London pick pocketing and thieving. Oliver gets caught stealing from the wealthy Mr Brownlow and is taken in by him and his family.
We have a wonderful choice of costumes suitable for this show from Oliver’s collarless shirt, breeches and baker boy hat, the Artful Dodger’s worn tailcoat and top hat, Fagin’s coat and fingerless gloves, Nancy’s red dress and work clothing for Bill Sikes.
