Welcome to Dresses from Tara, a costume making company based in Sheffield. Supplying made-to-measure period and contemporary costumes for theatre, television, film and the heritage industry. Over 20 years of practical experience in this field makes Dresses from Tara the perfect choice to costume any kind of production. Olivier Award winning costumes for Derek Jacobi, Claire Price and Charlotte Randall (pictured) in "Don Carlos", Joseph Fiennes' "Edward II" and Kenneth Brannagh's "Richard III" are part of our previous work.
Dresses from Tara covers every period of fashion and style. From the relative simplicity of the Middle Ages through the frills and furbelows of the late Victorian Age to the modern couture standards of the 30s, 40s and 50s. More contemporary garments are also part of our repertoire - from the sparse opulence of the 60s to the ostentatious 70s and shoulder-padded 80s.
The added back-up of professional makers, dyers, milliners, finishers, embroiderers and beaders makes Dresses from Tara the complete costumiers.
One-off evening / special event gowns, period corsetry and underwear commissions are also a speciality.
