Nivera Gilbert

My name is Nivera Gilbert, I’m 23 years old and currently working as a Junior Costume Maker for Film / TV in London UK. I received a BA First Class (Hons) Degree at Wimbledon College of Arts where I studied Costume Interpretation.
I do not currently take private commissions but if you would like to hire me for Film/TV work I can be contacted at nivera.costumes@gmail.com

On this blog you will find a lot of my work up until I entered the costume industry and started working professionally.

Reporting from Downtown’s wardrobes

Last year I had the absolute pleasure of working on Downton Abbey 2 with a brilliant team! Having followed along Downton Abbey for many years it was so surreal making for the characters. We made some amazing costumes, Myrna’s dresses were a personal favourite of mine! Downton Abbey was also my introduction into restoration work, in particular the original beaded evening dresses.

I’m a bit late in sharing one of my 2021 accomplishments but here it is - I learnt to knit!

Recently I’ve been making the most of my Art Pass before it expires at the end of the month, I was looking for places I hadn’t visited before and came across Kensington Palace. I love looking through historic houses especially ones that have textile exhibitions, ‘Royal Style in the Making’ is a small exhibition on display in Queen Anne’s Orangery at Kensington Palace. The exhibition looks at fashion designers, their royal clients and the process of creating royal commissions for the world stage.

Hello hello! It’s been over a year since I’ve posted (sorry!) but in that time I’ve been working full time in the Film / TV industry making costumes!

After taking a break from the magenta dress I got back to working on it a few weeks ago.
