Welcome to going ape costume



hi! I'm Becky, and I make costumes.



Costume building has been something I've been doing since I was a little girl. I started my career in costuming as a young woman managing a costume rental in Utah County. From there, I attended Southern Utah University where I studied Theater Costuming and Family and Consumer Sciences with a sewing emphasis. After graduation, we moved our family to the rural Nevada desert where I've created and sold custom Halloween costumes for nearly 25 years.

In 2014 I entered the world of cosplay and I've been having the time of my life. My personal costumes are chosen based on the challenge and the skills. I love learning new things. I'm primarily a seamstress and I have added to my sewing skills with Worbla, foam, sculpting, electronics and lighting.

My husband, Justin, is a history and English teacher, and a poet. We have three sons and three cats. I am also a traditional artist.
