Cinderella Transformation Dress Consultations

Cinderella Transformation Dress by Sumalee Eaton, Photo by Benevolence PhotoI would love to help you with your Cinderella transformation dress! After making so many versions of this costume, I know all about the challenges that arise when taking this project on. However, while the transformation is very complex, a little guidance is all most people need to make it successful! I currently offer DIY transformation dress consultations and hope to eventually publish a tutorial.

Every show is different, and I can help anyone with basic sewing knowledge and a little imagination create a transformation dress to fit their production. I can provide you unlimited correspondence, Q&A, recommendations, and the love and encouragement you need to conquer this dress for yourself as part of an online consultation. A little investment in the beginning of the process will save you plenty of tears later on…take it from me!

My $200 Transformation Consultation Includes:

  • An initial video call (1 hour) to introduce you to how transformation costumes work and answer your most pressing questions
  • Access to almost 10 years worth of my research
  • A behind the scenes look at my costumes, including video and photos of how they are rigged for transformation
  • Unlimited follow up via email, phone, or video call
  • Lifelong friendship with me, the only other person who really understands what you’re going through!

More About My Cinderella Transformation Dress Journey

In the summer of 2015, I was asked to make a Cinderella transformation dress, and the request literally transformed my life. I’ve since created many, many transforming dresses for several productions of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, including my own suite of costumes, which I rented to schools across the country prior to the pandemic.

While I am no longer offering Cinderella rentals, I am offering consultations to teach other costumers my method for making transformations, and I am actively working on a tutorial.
