Olivanders Creations, LLC is owned and operated by Olivia Coleman. I am a seamstress with over 14 years of sewing experience in custom sewing, custom design work, costume rigging, and alteration/repair work. Above all, I strive to bring perfection to every project, with an emphasis on quality workmanship.
My sewing skills gained origin in grade school when I was taught basic sewing technique and repairs. Later on, I transitioned to costume design for local theaters and cosplay for events and conventions.
Over the years I have worked as a costume designer, wardrobe supervisor, dresser/fitter, stitcher, cutter, and pretty much anything else that was necessary to get a show on the stage. My roots in cosplay granted me insight as to what a costume needs to meet the needs of the wearer, and my roots in theatre have granted me the insight as to what a costume must do to meet the needs of a character.
