Midnight Costume Services CoVID-19 statement

Midnight Costume Services is a Bristol based Costume production company creating multiples and ‘runs’ of costumes for film, TV and theatre, working all over the world.

We work remotely as standard (unlike many workshops and costume houses), using over 30 South West based Freelancers each of whom work from their own Studio. We utilise shipping, on-on-one meetings and the internet (WhatsApp, Messenger etc) to hand off work and communicate and as such we are uniquely set up to continue providing an excellent service  during this concerning time however; during the coVID-19 Pandemic we are here to help creating Costumes for your productions a little easier…

1.       We have a range of measurement forms available to all clients which can be sent to all performers to take their own measurements. This will help people self-isolating, or simply ensure less people are travelling to be measured in large groups, especially if theatres etc start to close.

2.       We have a printable PDF tape measure that comes with the measurement form, as well as a link to a handy video clip of how to take measurements’. This will hopefully ensure more ease accuracy for your performers.

3.       We are on hand day and night to set up Skype/Facebook Messenger/WhatsApp calls to assist with measurement taking, or fittings. Please let us know if this may be needed when discussing your Costume requirements and we can happily assist virtually.

4.       During this outbreak, if assistance is needed on-site we are happy to use our network of freelancers to source someone closer to you to help with fittings, measurements etc.

5.       We are happy to set up contactless delivering through our Couriers and shipping companies. Just let us know.

As a freelance based company based in the Creative sector we are naturally concerned that this Pandemic will affect our livelihood and would encourage you to utilise our skills and abilities over the coming months, as we are uniquely situated to build large and small Costume runs alike, with virtually no face-to-face contact down the entire supply chain.

We have worked for companies large and small (please see our website for examples) creating costumes for feature films, the West End, TV shows amongst many others, and have a wide range of skills to support this including Costume Design, Pattern Cutting (both modern and historical), Pattern Grading, Costume Construction (modern and historical), Tailoring for both Men and Women (modern and historical), Dancewear including circus, ballet etc,  Multiples and Production Runs, Shirtmaking and Streetwear to name but a few. We also have excellent equipment and machinery to assist in diverse and extensive Costume makes.

We specialise in making production runs of costumes with quick turnarounds (i.e. 65 shirts in 2 weeks), cost effectively and within your budget. We can manage an entire production from Design to final make, or simply make multiples of something you can’t source anywhere else.

Please do not hesitate to contact Laura with any queries, quotes or enquiries over the coming months laura@midnightcostumeservices.com.
