has been a constant presence in our shop over the past few years, and we’re always thrilled when the call comes in, it’s like catching up with an old friend you haven’t seen in a while.
Sacred Songs was especially meaningful for us. This ballet resurrects and reimagines a collection of spirituals from the original 1960 version of Ailey’s seminal Revelations that were later omitted. With Revelations being such an iconic work, both visually and emotionally, we had our work cut out for us to ensure the spirit remained intact while being seen on today’s dancers.
We hope you enjoy this work “an offering to our present need for lamentation, faith, and joy,” as the company so beautifully puts it.

Every stitch tells a story. 🧵✂️
Behind every BJC costume, there are trained hands making sure every detail from the set of a sleeve, to the application of a trim is tailored to the designer’s vision and the performer’s body. Here’s a glimpse behind the seams in our shop. ✨

A vision in pink. 🌸
This bustle gown, fondly nicknamed “Lobster Tail” in our shop, is one of the standout pieces we created for The Gilded Age Season 3. With its sweeping silhouette and intricate detail, it captures the elegance and extravagance of the era.
We’re so proud to see this design grace the screen. ✨

As the year comes to a close, we just wanted to take a moment to reflect and express our gratitude. It’s been an incredibly busy year, and while that’s a good thing, it has meant a bit of radio silence on our social media.

Thank you all for your continued support, whether you’ve worked with us, cheered us on, or simply followed along on our journey. We’re not quite sure what the new year will bring in terms of posts—whether we’ll be sharing more or keeping things behind the scenes— we’ll see where the path takes us!

Wishing you all a joyful holiday season and an amazing new year ahead. Cheers to whatever comes next!

So many shows, so little time ⏰

As we gear up for a new set of shows, we're taking a moment to remember some of our all-time favorites from the past few years. This is also a unique view on our behind the scenes organization - rack dividers! These little heroes help us organize each show, character, and garment, ensuring smooth operations at BJC. Efficiency is key in our craft, and these specific rack dividers play a significant role in maintaining our standards.

When regal elegance meets craftsmanship excellence ⛪️

We're excited to share one of our favorite builds from Henry VIII; Cardinal Campeggio, the papal legate. The Cardinal's attire is a testament to our unwavering commitment to detail and artistry. The gracefully flowing train is strategically secured to the base jacket using a combination of snaps and hooks, ensuring wardrobe changes are effortless and seamless. The fashion fabric of the jacket was beautiful on both sides, so the design team chose to use the "wrong side" for the cumberbund and for internal contrast. This costume demands attention and respect, like the Cardinal himself!

Interested what other tips and tricks were utilized in this build? Leave your questions in the comments!

Anne Boleyn, the queen of our heart 💛

Today, we're shining the spotlight on the remarkable Anne Boleyn and this magnificent gold dress featured in the production! Our team had the absolute pleasure of crafting several pieces for this stunning show, and we couldn't wait to share the intricate details of this breathtaking gown;

From the meticulous pattern matching across the bodice to the exquisite lacing and the beautifully designed faux chemise, every element of this costume was crafted with precision and dedication.

We have already teased one of the other looks we built for Anne Boleyn. Stay tuned for an in-depth look at more awe-inspiring Henry VIII costumes!
