Great service she is definitely a top-notch professional. Cosplay was well made and with quality work. Excited to get to cosplay for my first time. Will get another cosplay done in the future again. Recommend 10/10

Great work! She made two costumes for my husband and I and they both turned out FANTASTIC. She kept us updated every step of the process.

Sam, is just amazing. I asked her if we could do Nemo from Finding Nemo. She was excited to do this for me. Absolutely love it, it fits perfectly. Great material. Very easy to talk to :) kept me updated. Will recommend to anyone.
