Hello, I'm Heidi, a content creator under the name Costume CO.
25 years ago, I specialized in theatre costume at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada, and earned a bachelor's degree in Technical Theatre Production. I have created and designed costumes for hundreds of Canadian live-event and theatrical productions, as well as TV and film.
I also worked in the corporate and not-for-profit sector through my costume business, Ms. Dress-Up. Some of my clients included the Royal Ontario Museum, The Toronto Zoo, Casaloma, The Government of Ontario, Icelandic Air, and Virgin Mobile.
In 2017 I launched a YouTube channel looking at the costumes on the big screen and small through the eyes of a costumer. My first video was on the costumes of Cersei Lannister, the gloriously dressed villain in HBO's Game of Thrones.
5 years and 200 videos and livestreams later, I am still dedicating my channel to works in high fantasy, science fiction, horror & historical drama.
