About Nim Burgin

Creating bespoke gorgeousness.

About Nim Burgin

I have been making unique, one-off clothing for myself and clients for 25 years now, and corsets for the last 10 years. I always get a thrill from seeing a client fall in love with their finished custom- made piece.

My styles range from vintage & burlesque, to delicately detailed cosplay & historical costume, with many layers of fabulousness in between.

With a range of couture skills in a variety of materials and fabrics including latex and leather, I can create that special one-off piece for you, or full outfits with accessories appropriate to the design. If you are unsure if your idea is possible just ask via the Contact Form and I’ll be happy to discuss it with you.

To view some of the work I have previously made, please check out my galleries where you will get an idea of the variety of work which can be commissioned.

Treat yourself to bespoke

When it comes to creating your one-of-a-kind piece, I will discuss your requirements in detail with image references and provide you with a quote. Once a 50% deposit has been paid and measurements obtained, I will start creating your bespoke piece. If you have a tight deadline please mention this when using the contact form.

Each commission is personally hand-made in my studio just outside of Manchester City Centre, and I welcome clients to visit and have their measurements taken.
