costume maker

Theatrical wardrobe artisan

A costume maker creates clothing and accessories for theatrical productions, films, or other performances.

The term covers those who design, sew, or assemble costumes—sometimes all three.

Costume makers work from sketches or historical references to produce garments that fit performers and serve the story: The costume maker spent weeks building the elaborate gowns for the period drama.
