Mock-up/Fit Sample

Starting 2020, US customers get one FREE mock-up/fit sample for “order-made” costumes.
*Sorry, can’t provide this to international customers due to shipping rate.

♦ Sample is made partially in alternative fabric/color and not in full costume set.
♦ This is to check overall size/fit, so I can adjust pattern size close to your size before I start to cut actual fabric
♦ Upon receiving a sample, a customer can make comment/feedback if there is anything should be corrected, improved or applied to a final costume.

Please see below for examples of previous samples.

  • US domestic packages are shipped from Monday~Saturday using a self service KIOSK located inside a local post office.

I use USPS as shipping carrier, and can ship/visit USPS during their business hours.

I need a costume next week. How fast can you make & ship?

If you’re in a hurry to get a costume, please contact COSARU and ask if you can receive a package by your due date.

Order-made items cannot be shipped right away since they need extra sewing time.

Buying pre-made items will be the best option.
