Yvette Traumanis

Howdy folks, I’m Yvette, the owner of a cross generation family run business that started way back in the 80’s by my quirky mum.

At age 16, “Quirky” meant “Totally Embarrassing”, but fuelled by my love for hand stitching scraps of material together to make mini clothes for my teddy bears, I jumped at the chance to start making costumes. This exploded into a 30 year career. Now I run the business but only have time to make clothes for my Chihuahua & Mini Schnauzer..nawww.. I know right!

So I’m bursting with ideas to help you all on your costume journey. I hope you find what you need on this blog page, including cute doggie pics 🙂
