With our seamless incorporation of lighting there are NO visible wires or electronics. NOT many design companies have the same level of experience and knowledge in BOTH fields of electrical engineering and costume design. We design, tailor and manufacture our own designs, BUT...
Not all fabrics transmit lights, and sometimes it's harder to work inside something than it is to build around them. That being said things like skirts, wedding dresses and gowns seem to work as long as they are light in color. When you're ready to discus a project contact us by clicking the link below..
"I've never had an experience like the one I had at Electric Forest wearing a custom illuminated couture outfit. Strangers were tapping my shoulder, asking to take pictures, and complimenting me throughout the night." - Shelley N. (ESTY review)
Expert Tailoring - We make our own garments, but can incorporate into existing garments as well.
Seamless designs - There are no visible wires, LED’s or cables in our garments. All electronics are embedded under the garment for comfort and style.
Functional - We care just as much about having something that’s comfortable and easy to wear as we do about the way it looks.
Lighting - Illuminated Couture carries a wide range of lighting. From single color LED to a video display we can do it all. When it comes to Light Up Clothing... If you're not wearing our products... You're NOT Good To Glow!
This gives us ultimate flexibility through the construction, and allows our designs to be truly unique in every aspect. Construction can take between 5 to 20 hours on most projects, and up to 70+ hours on some of the more complex ones.
Illuminated Couture puts its reputation on the line with every item we make. It's our mission to make QUALITY that lasts; We also believe that Function, Fashion and Comfort are each 1/3 of the design process. It's got to be comfortable, look good, balanced and have cool features that are easy to use.
"The quality and craftsmanship are top notch! All the materials are sturdy and held up well at Burning Man even after a week of abuse and wear! I love this had and so did everyone else. I must have gotten 20 compliments wearing it out, and can't wait to see what he makes next!" - Michael T., Burning Man 2015 (ETSY Review)

A headdress base is the foundation you add all elements of your design. A base can anything from a hair clip to giant metal frame. While some designer might use store bought headbands or mass produced plastic parts everything we make is from raw materials.
MOLDED LEATHER produces a lightweight, flexible and durable base: making it exceptional for dancers, performers and or anyone wearing this for long periods of time.

The exact opposite from the leather this frame provides sturdiness; optimal for heavier details and larger projects. A wire framed Headdress can open up the design to something VERY grand. Despite the way it sounds wire frames make the finished project much lighter than you would think.

Foam constructed frames are great for COSPLAY and SCI-FI costumes and props. Very lightweight and durable this material is great for painting, carving, laminating and combining with other materials. It's almost tear proof and don't weather or dry out. It's dense, but not hard so it's a great material to make helmets and armor out of.
All the Helmets pictured here are 100% made from dense foam base. They fit very well on the head, and the weight is next to nothing so they are VERY COMFORTABLE to wear.
It's been found that some more desirable bases to build from are re-purposed institutional hats like Marching Band Hats and Military Hats. We have also done Formal Top Hats, construction helmets, bike helmets and more...
Look if you haven't figured it out by now... We make EVERYTHING... and we do it well
We are known for our innovative designs on lighting and incorporating them into wearables. Our team of engineers takes raw material and components and constructs everything from scratch.
We don’t use store bought Christmas lights on AA Battery packs. We use the most efficient and intelligent lighting available giving you a full nights use from a wafer thin battery before needing a Re-Charge.
We do custom programming and write our own code.
We use proprietary components and try to give you the most amount of options available.
We can take any design idea and make it reality for you.

The Lighting & Power - Lighting and power is the star of our designs.
Illuminated Couture creates unique fiber optic bundles, glowing jewels, custom molds, and many more effects that enhance our lighting. We are continuously striving to push the envelope and develop new ideas and lighting concepts.
Our batteries and power packs are always the thinnest and lightest weight options available, usually rechargeable and with a simple push on/off switch.
Place A Custom OrderWe are not really good at just one element of the design process. We literally construct ever single element of some of our designs from the raw leather, liquid plastics to sheets of material and elaborate steps putting it all together. Our construction process is not limited to buying store bought elements and incorporating them onto already constructed elements… No, we design EVERYTHING from scratch!

“Ronnie went above and beyond for me when he didn't need to. I wasn't the easiest customer to deal with, but he was patient and understanding during the process. I hope I get the opportunity to buy another piece from illuminated couture within the next year.”
Unfortunately, things happen from time to time, and no matter how careful you are, mistakes happen. If an issue arises (whether it’s your fault ours) we will work with you to resolve the issue by showing you how to fix it yourself or sending back in for repairs.
In most cases, the problem can be repaired. We like to think that with quality manufacturing, great designs, and proper care things will never break, but when you're in the business of having fun sometimes you're just gonna rage a little too hard and pull that wire when you should have pushed.
Well, that depends on the complexity of the order. On we need average 3-4 weeks to complete and ship. If you need it faster, just let us know.
Once you've filled in and submitted the form we will get in touch with you to discuss the details. Then we will provide a quote and an estimated time of completion.
So make sure we have your email and phone number.
