Here at the Studio we get all kinds of interesting calls, and some of our favorites are for theme parties. A few months ago we costumed an 85th birthday party, in which all the birthday matron's grandchildren dressed as her at different stations in her life and acted out a skit for her. We have done princess parties and superhero parties for kids as well, and as our Closet is slowly but surely making its way online, we hope to costume many more in the future. Today's Flashback Friday is a focus on the last two theme parties we costumed, which, coincidentally, were for friends of mine and Marilyn's, respectively.
I am a HUGE fan of theme parties, as anyone who has seen my Facebook feed can attest. Luckily I am also friends with many amazing and wonderful people who share my love for themes, as well as my passion for our Studio! When my friend Carrie decided to theme her New Years' Eve party in the style of a 1920s speakeasy (complete with 20s jazz from a gramophone.... image on her computer, and giant black and white speakeasy background for pictures), I started texting out pictures of sequined headbands and slinky beaded dresses. By the end, we had had something to do with costumes on half the party.

Then in February we got a call from Felicia, a friend of Marilyn's. She is with the Annapolis Film Festival, and they threw a big Oscars viewing party this year, complete with live-action Oscar! He was a big hit, and we now have an Oscar costume available in the Closet. We often create "custom" costumes for rental, so our client can get an amazing custom costume for the cost of a rental, and we can then send out this super cool costume again and again!
