Melanie Wilson founded Prangsta Costumiers in 1998 initially to rally against the waste that she saw in the fashion industry, by collecting discarded vintage garments that are recycled into new creations.
The business grew through the provision of bespoke costumes tailored for the individual and the continual expansion of the Prangsta Costumiers costume collection; often made to request (however outlandish and extravagant) and all available for hire.
Prangsta Costumiers' shop front is in New Cross London and we have a 1500sq ft design studio in Deptford where Melanie passes on her expertise to students in her Dressmaking and Tailoring classes, as well as continuing to produce trademark costumes of brilliance in her own inimitable style.
Not content to wait for people to seek Prangsta Costumiers out, Melanie has also decided to move the metaphorical mountain with the construction of a mobile Burlesque Boudoir which tours festival locations throughout the summer.

Best For
London's best shops for fancy dress
It's dress... but fancier.
Prangsta fancies itself as ‘one big dressing up box’ and although that’s true, there’s a lot of skill hidden within this South London costume shop. Led by designer Melanie Wilson, Prangsta makes customs, rents and sells costumes to the public. With no shortage of celebrity endorsements, you can see why the shop is so popular.
