Testimonials
Braveheart Inspired Costume
I was looking online for costume makers for a project i'm starting in Edinburgh, When i found Kirstie.
I was hoping to have an authentic replica of the costume Mel Gibson wore in braveheart made, so sent Kirstie an email. She replied very quickly and we spoke about the concept i wanted and materials. We agreed on a very fare price, Shortly followed by my first fitting.
Kirstie was very professional and attentive to my needs. The whole process was very quick and painless. I've ended up with an incredible costume that i love and can't wait for the public to see when i start with my street performances in edinburgh.I can't reccomend Kirstie highly enough, great service and a very happy customer!
