As the founder and former artistic Director of Butterfield 8 theatre company I needed some one who understood the work we were doing. B8 performs in what can only be called an intimate and immersive space. The costumes and garments become vital to the world we are trying to build. Liz Martin provided beautiful work during my tenure. She understood the importance of the garment and how close the audience was to the actor we had to have costumes that close up didn’t look like a costume. We did and continue to present cross-gendered work as well as same gendered casting as well as period work. Liz always came with her a game. She helped to build our reputation and artistic achievement while bringing her own sense of design and statement to the work. I would work with Liz Martin again without question, and will continue to recommend her as one of the most reliable costume artists out there. Read More

Liz was the perfect consultant and costume provider for our project. She helped us take the authenticity of our period outfits to a new level and even instructed us on how to wear them properly. Her passion for getting every detail right was inspiring! We’ll return to Liz in the future for all our costuming needs. Read More

I came to Liz for a period correct walking dress (1880’s) – with only a picture to follow as a pattern.  I was fitted/sized; came back for a couple of fittings and was overwhelmed with how exact my dress resembled the picture I brought in.  Liz and Leisle are amazing seamstresses…the detail was incredible!!  I was so happy I came back and had them make my wedding dress…which was STUNNING!!  I highly recommend their services to anyone that’s looking for incredible workmanship.

I expected and received flattering and historically accurate costuming. Comfortable, durable, and easy to clean/maintain, too.  If I lived closer, I would pursue custom tailoring for my modern wardrobe! Read More
