Costume designers on films, TV serials, web series and ads shot around Film City need outfits stitched fast or hired for a few days. A workshop in the western suburbs can do both, close to where the shoots happen.

This workshop stitches costumes to a costume designer's drawings and keeps a growing stock of outfits to hire out. Think police and hospital uniforms, school and office wear, period clothes, wedding outfits and dance costumes. Each outfit that comes back is cleaned, mended and hung up for the next shoot.
Why here: Mumbai Suburban is home to Film City in Goregaon and the heart of the Hindi film industry. Films, TV serials, web series and ads are shot in studios and bungalows across Andheri, Goregaon, Malad and Madh Island. Costume teams often need many matching outfits for extras at short notice, and they want a workshop they can reach the same day. Theatre groups, schools and college festivals also hire costumes.
What it takes: skilled tailors and a pattern cutter, industrial sewing machines, racks and dry storage, plus shop registration and GST. The hard part is money and stock. Productions often pay late, and outfits come back stained or torn. Take a deposit and note each outfit's condition when it goes out. Older costume houses already serve the big films, so start with ads, TV serials and smaller productions that need speed.
Find work by meeting costume designers and stylists, keeping a photo catalogue of your stock online, and being quick with fixes on set.
