Welcome to Pintler Costumes and Technologies

We’re an emerging custom costume studio in New York City that uses technology and modern construction techniques to build, alter and facilitate custom costumes for live performance and film.

We build custom costumes.

Our team of talented artisans of dressmakers, tailors, and a milliner are looking forward to helping you bring your designs to life.  We frequently collaborate with other talented artisans in the fields of fabric painting, fabric printing, fabric dyeing, millinery, embroidery, sculpting, and 3D printing to help give your design that one-of-a-kind touch.

We take measurements.

If your performers are in the New York City area, send them to us for measurements and photos. Once you’ve set up an account with us, we will schedule them to come in to take their measurements, four photos of quarter turn of headshots and four photos of quarter turn full length body pictures and send them to you the same day.

Are you someone looking to have your measurements taken? Book with us now and we’ll give you a copy of your measurements at the end of your appointment.

We host virtual fittings.

If your performer is near New York City, you aren’t but you’re ready to fit them now, we can help by scheduling a virtual fitting with us.  Our virtual fittings can include:

  • a secure location to ship fitting garments

  • we’ll unpack and organize the fitting garments for the fitting

  • we’ll provide a Zoom link

  • a skilled draper will assist during the fitting to pin and aid in producing the right fit

  • fitting notes, photos and video will be sent to you afterwards

  • we’ll pack everything back up for shipping to you, the returns or to your construction team

  • we can also perform the alterations in the workshop after the fitting

We build custom curtains, pillows, bags, and other soft goods / props.

Our team of artisans enjoy the diversity that building curtains, pillows and other prop soft goods brings us.  We tackle every project that involves sewing and fabric with the same energy as one may expect from a costume.

We alter & reinforce garments and soft goods.

Not all garments need to be built, yet not all store bought garments are ready for the live performance.  We can help you get the fit you want and the reinforcement the garments need to survive 8 performances a week.

We look forward to creating with you.
