About Us 
The company, based in Ballymena, was established in 1981 with internet services added from 1998. The company has many years experience in the trade.  Marion Kenny the  Chief In-house Designer and owner of Nifty Thimble Costumes has supplied many satified customers, and charity/theatre groups including  Add Up Group NI and Adapt theatre group and she has owned and managed other design labels including MarionJean and Cannicraft with customers from all over the world. She guarantees customer satisfaction and that each customised garment bought from Nifty Thimble Costumes increases in value over the years of ownership and  that these can, and have, become valuable heirlooms.

The firm provides Businesses, Brides and Theatre & Dance groups as well as discerning individual buyers with professional costume design , manufacture and supply;  and  professional alteration , and costume-fitting services on-site (yes, we visit you!) or before purchase is made of the garments, by using our unique Bespoke fitting service.

The fully-experienced and qualified staff ensure clients receive authentic, top-quality garments  which are uniquely designed and can be made up and despatched inside 5 days for stock items and  only within 21 days for customised items! - even for complicated formal/bridal items!  

Customised items can be designed by you, the customer or by our In-house design team.  This service is therefore unique as the services and products are designed to provide complete satisfaction every time and ourcompany is the only one of its kind anywhere all over Ireland or the UK.
