Flo Foxworthy has been pursuing her childhood dream of making elaborate costumes for almost 30 years.  She has worked on a variety of projects ranging from superhero suits for blockbuster films to heavily embellished stage costumes for some of the world's most celebrated showgirls.

 

Showgirl costumes

​

Since 1998 Flo has been making costumes for dancers, and is well known for making some of the best G strings in the business. 

From 2007 - 2019 Flo made her name creating costumes for burlesque performers, and her costumes have graced stages around the world.

​

Flo re-opened her showgirl boutique in late 2025.​

​

Outside of the costume workroom, Flo's interests include weaving, travel, visiting museums and learning about textile-focused handcrafts.

​

Film costumes

​

Flo is the former head of the Costume department at the Academy Award-winning special effects company Wētā Workshop, where she and her team made specialty costumes for films such as Avatar: The Way of Water, Ghost in the Shell, The Hobbit Trilogy, Thor: Love & Thunder and more.

​​

Currently working as a freelance costumer in New Zealand and around the world, Flo has a particular interest in pattern cutting for specialty costumes and the costume cross-over between physical and digital worlds.​​
