limebarb.com is a small custom costume and fashion company. We are located in Chicago, Illinois. We specialize in making custom costumes and clothing, as well as our own brand of unique, limited-edition clothing. Our clothing appeals to everyone's want to dress up and show a more expressive side of themselves. :)
We are a group of dedicated artists and craftspeople who are comissioned by a diverse clientele. Most of the work we do is on custom costumes for anime, video game, and comic book fans attending the hundreds of conventions held worldwide each year. We also work with individual clients to create custom clothing based on their own original designs! We enjoy bringing people's daydreams for their very own unique outfit to life!
We also make costumes for plays - both by creating from supplied designs, and from doing the design work ourselves. We are eager to expand into more theater work and can work with large companies as well as small ones on a budget. We also hope to work with bands, designing clothes for those that want their own unique style!
