Edward Sylvia

Greetings!
My name is Edward Sylvia, and I am the founder of EDWARD SYLVIA NEW YORK. My studio is situated in the heart of the Hunts Point neighborhood of South Bronx, which is easily accessible via the 2, 5, and 6 trains, Metronorth, and by car using the Bruckner Expressway.
With more than 35 years of practical experience, I am conservatory trained in both theatrical costume design and production, as well as couture. I provide services for men, women, children, and amateur and professional companies such as custom-designed and produced theatrical costumes, drag costumes, burlesque costumes, evening wear (for both women and men), bridal attire, special occasion wear, menswear, dance attire, activewear, millinery (hatmaking), corsetry, period costume recreation, and Halloween/masquerade costumes.
My services include alteration and fitting, which incur a $40/hr fee. Cost estimates for any alterations required can be provided after garment fitting. In addition to designing unique garments, I am skilled in duplicating or recreating existing designs and garments from pictures and images.
I am a versatile designer dedicated to providing exceptional craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. Although I can meet clients in other locations for design meetings, custom garment fittings must take place in my Bronx studio due to logistical constraints.
