Drag Costume Sewing Pattern Bundle

Showgirl & Burlesque DIY Costume Kit

The Drag Costume Sewing Pattern Bundle is a performer-designed system for creating stage-ready costumes that actually fit, move, and hold up under performance conditions.

Created by Chicago burlesque performer and producer Red Hot Annie, this bundle teaches the foundations of drag and burlesque costume construction using patterns and techniques developed through more than 15 years of stage performance.

Instead of relying on expensive custom costumes, performers learn how to build their own wardrobe pieces with reliable patterns, professional finishing techniques, and performer-tested shortcuts.

Whether you are designing your first costume or building a full stage wardrobe, this bundle helps performers create durable, customized stagewear.
