Highly specialised craftsmanship
COSTUME WORKSHOPS

Stage costumes are dreams made of fabric.
Our profession is to make these dreams come true.

Ladies' & Men's
tailoring

The centrepiece of our workshops is the ladies' and men's tailoring department. Here we create elaborate stage costumes as well as customised haute couture according to your ideas. Our tailors have specialised knowledge and are well-versed in ancient craft techniques that are no longer taught today. There is hardly a costume wish that our colleagues cannot fulfil. We make almost anything possible.

Our modern and efficient workshops have knowledge that goes back 200 years - "Viennese excellence". Our employees preserve theatre-specific craftsmanship techniques that hardly exist anywhere else in the world. The international purchasing department maintains worldwide contacts and is able to fulfil any special material request.

WHITE SEWING 

Our employees are also proven experts in the field of white sewing, a specialised area of tailoring that is no longer taught today. This involves the first layer on the body, those garments made of elasticated material that are worn directly on the skin, such as delicate leotards, bodysuits and ballet costumes.

MODISTEREI

Our milliners don't just make hats, they conjure up headdresses of the highest quality. They don't just work with classic materials such as felt and feathers. They also use ultra-modern materials, which are mainly used in orthopaedic technology, to model any desired shape.

Shoemaking

A customised shoe lasts a lifetime and fits like a glove. Artists need to be able to perform on stage with a firm footing, even when it comes to unusual footwear. Our shoemakers ensure the perfect PERFORMANCE.

Costume painting & jewellery making

Painting, patinating, colouring - these are all techniques that are used in our costume painting department. Our colleagues enhance fabrics with delicate paintings or find exactly the desired colour tone. But they also make costumes „look old“, soiling or destroying them professionally. 
Our jewellery department produces beautiful jewellery, crowns and rhinestone trimmings for costumes. Special guidelines apply to jewellery for theatre and ballet costumes - every stone and every pearl must be doubly secured to prevent accidents caused by falling parts on stage and to ensure that the artists' every move is safe.
