The Creation Process

Pat conducts research that inspires her unique costumes. “I get as much information about the client/performing venue as possible: coloring, body type, range of movement, likes and dislikes and most importantly, I listen to their music. The music and the movements that I visualize to the music are the primary source of my inspiration."

Pat researches time periods, fabric types, colors, and watches films related to the skater’s theme. “I find inspiration everywhere and in everything. I see the dress, see it on the person, and see its movement, flow, and changing silhouettes before it is ever made.”

After completing the design, Pat submits color sketches and fabric samples to the client for approval. The finished product is an exact duplication of her sketch. “The sketch is my blueprint.”
