UK based Sally Preisig is Mimics Productions Ltd! I design and create some of the most eye-catching, unusual, unique and high quality, professional character costumes, mascot costumes and promotional costumes, as well as character puppets, masks, maquettes and soft props. Since 1988 I have gained a wealth of experience and an excellent reputation designing and making. Everything is handmade entirely by me in the UK and totally custom made to your needs. Be it a straight forward garment, a human, insect, animal, robot mascot costume or something from the depths of your imagination, I can work to specific designs and fabricate it in 3D for you, or feed you with inspirational ideas drawn from years of expertise. Making fantastic character costumes, mascot costumes and character puppets is my business: I am used to working with a range of clients big and small. I offer an easy to use, personal service. I can work with existing designs, logos and ideas – you provide me with your brief. I can design and create artwork with your full involvement, also discussing colours, fabrics, materials and even (if time) making mock-ups to fully understand your needs. Alternatively I can be your inspiration; just present your idea and I’ll do the rest! Once you are happy, I will set to work bringing your character costume, mascot costume, puppet, mask, maquette or prop to life. I can usually turn around a single 3D mascot costume or character costume in 2-4 weeks, sometimes sooner – it all depends on what materials I need to use / source, to execute your design! I can make ‘one-offs’ or multiples of a design, and offer a discounted rate for multiples of the same design when created in my workshop at the same time. If your budget is restricted I will suggest various ways of getting the best from your mascot costume, character or prop – such as creating just the head, feet and hands or advising on alternative materials. I also provide a REPAIR and cleaning service for costumes
