"Ivy did a fabulous job on our costumes! From first inquiring to the finished product she was professional, great at replying to emails and made the whole process a breeze (even living in separate cities during a pandemic). They fit perfect and she made the measuring easy all via video. They look so sparkly from stage and we always get compliments on them! Will absolutely get future costumes from Ivy! "

This piece is every bit as regal and rich as I hoped it would be. The fit is a dream, and the attention to detail is impeccable. Ivy's work is worth the investment.

​​

Ivy made Dresden Abstruse a midnight blue velvet pointed bra, underbust corset and hooped mermaid skirt covered in jet black 3D lace and rhinestones.

"Ivy is hands down one of the best costumiers I've ever worked with. She doesn't just design and make the garments, she helps to conceptualize how they'll work within an act. She gives innovative and constructive ideas to help create a costume and props that give an act a real wow factor. She has made me a custom showgirl corset in the past, and she created all of the beauty that is my 'Absolem' act costume, which has gone on to win numerous awards, including 'Best Costume'. Right from inquiry to delivered product, Ivy makes sure the client is kept in the loop and 100% happy with all the elements that go into it. I'd highly recommend her services to anyone wishing to invest in a bespoke custom costume."

Because it was such a big project with big ideas, I knew that I couldn't just DIY it - it needed to be carefully crafted with an expert. Everything was made so easy, from taking measurements over Skype right up until the fitting. Her ideas and creativity are exceptional and she really excels in all the costumes she makes. I am absolutely over the moon with the finished piece - it has exceeded my own expectations! Plus the snake boa really is the cherry on the cake, he is so popular he may need his own Instagram... Thank you so much for everything. Until the next idea!"

She worked with not only what I liked stylistically, but also what suited my personality. The end result was more beautiful and unique that I could have ever imagined. Her attention to detail and commitment to her art is phenomenal. Ivy’s talent and artistic vision made my wedding day extra memorable and I’m forever grateful!"

"Working with Ivy on this outfit was super exciting and fun. She helped me articulate what I was envisioning in my mind and came up with some fabulous sketches. She was great at helping me with what colour combos look better with each other and super understanding of how Drag outfits work as opposed to a burlesque outfit for a Cis gender woman. I have worn this outfit a lot on stage over the past year and have only had to replace one bra clip. Stones are super durable and everything fit perfectly."

"Ivy created the costume of my dreams! We did a measurement taking session via Skype, which was fantastic as she was able to see everything, plus it’s convenient when you live in a different state. Ivy designed and embellished a bra, knickers and corset for me. The corset is truly exquisite. I just adore the transparent mesh! She embellished it with different tones of red rhinestones and beading to create the blood drip and slash effect I was after. I just love looking at the embellishments on the corset, as I can see how much work went into it. I really wanted to use fan lacing, so Ivy added a decorative fan lacing effect to the hips, which is so gorgeous and makes the corset even more special. Wearing the corset is an absolute dream, as it fits my wide hips perfectly and is the perfect length. It gives a fantastic cinch, too! The bra & knicks fit fantastically - feel so nice to have something custom made. Can’t recommend this talented woman highly enough. Asphyxia Couture for president!"

​

Ivy made Jade a bra, corset and knicker set with rhinestone and bead "blood slash" detail and corset fan lacing detail. 

"I sent Ivy a few reference photos that I found online and she did an amazing job of taking the pieces I wanted from certain photos and combining them all together. She then incorporated a few tearaway pieces for performing and all the tearaways are super easy and trustworthy on stage. Stones are bulletproof. Fits super well. This outfit was completely planned via email and measured via Skype, and Ivy was the best to work with this way. Super thorough and amazing results as always."

​

Ivy made Regina Slay a white and gold drag outfit consisting of an overbust corset, tearaway fringe skirt, g-string - all covered in rhinestone linework.

"Ivy's brain would make Einstein feel inadequate. She is an absolute genius and can take a rambling idea and turn it into a fabulous costume. I went to Ivy with a concept that I thought would be impossible…turns out, nothing is impossible with her. She created a fabulous corset for me that is incredibly sparkly and beautiful, and not only that, she created the rest of my costume as well. I have never had such a well made, beautifully crafted outfit in my entire performing career. Ivy made sure all the elements worked perfectly together, and that every item complemented the others. The final product was a million times better than my initial idea, and I would recommend this woman to anyone who wants a unique, strong and fabulous costume. I cannot wait to strut this baby on an international stage!"

The consultation process was very collaborative and she worked with my budget to create the best possible costume, offering me various options at different prices for me to make an informed decision. She understands the intricacy of burlesque design and makes the garments to come off in unique ways that I probably wouldn't have even thought of! Throughout the process I really felt like Ivy was as excited as I was about this costume and cared about creating a costume that I would be happy with."

She is professional, creative, talented and super nice to work with. I was very impressed by her commitment and pride towards her designs.

"Wow this girl is amazing! I had a (very) vague idea of what I wanted to wear on my wedding day but found it hard to put into words. Ivy got into my brain and figured it all out for me! She made the whole process so much fun, was extremely flexible with appointments, kept in constant contact even though we were in opposite ends of the country and catered to my last minute requests and changes like a boss (including making a cravat for the groom-which was also perfect)! I felt fantastic on my wedding day, the corset was so comfortable to wear! I had oodles of great comments about how the outfit was beautiful and "so me". Thank you again for making me feel like a rockstar on our big day Ivy, I couldn't have been happier with how your masterpiece turned out! I highly recommend Asphyxia Couture for any other brides to be out there!"

I have no concerns with Ivy designing my outfits from afar (I am in Christchurch and she is in Auckland), every outfit has fitted me perfectly. My white outfit won 'Best Costume' at Miss Burlesque NZ 2013, and also 'Best Costume' at the Golden Garters for the New Zealand Burlesque Festival 2013. I highly recommend Ivy and her very talented hands to anyone who is looking for a superior garment that will stand the test of time!"
