Great textural combinations, rich colors, and innovative designs are the hallmark of Nicole?s line of signature costumes. Just getting her start as a costumer, she is eagerly diving into the field with all of her design talent to create unique pieces that dancers all over the West Coast are proud to wear. Nicole works with her clients one on one to create a design tailored to their interests, personality, and performance environment. She gives each client the benefit of multiple fittings and consultations to create the best possible costume that you will want to wear over and over again. Her design style is outrageous, and cutting-edge, drawing from the latest styles in Egypt.

Nicole has been sewing since the age of five, and taught her self to sew clothes and then belly dance costumes from simple pants to encrusted bedlahs. In belly dance design and construction she is completely self-taught, using original techniques that she continuously perfects and improves upon. After just sewing for herself for a time, she was convinced in early 2008 by other dancers to branch out into costuming for others. She has since discovered a love of giving others the gift of great design.

Nicole is available only for custom orders at the moment, but will also take alterations and is great at making those little tweaks to get your favorite costume ready for the stage. Let her create a beautiful look for you!
