Welcome to
Lennie & Boston’s Workshop

At Lennie & Boston’s workshop, we create original costumes, garments, and novelty pieces, each crafted with care and guided by a commitment to sustainability. Every item that leaves our hands is infused with creativity, love, and purpose.

While we have taken commissions in the past, our calendar is currently full. We may be able to take on new projects on a case-by-case basis, but for now, our focus is here: rehoming a curated collection of preloved vintage items and costumes.

Some of these treasures are vintage finds gathered over the years, others are unique concept designs created for past clients, and many are costumes that have already been worn, loved, and enjoyed. Each one now waits for a new home, ready for a second life while making space for the fresh creations always taking shape in Lennie’s workshop.

Every piece you’ll find here is meant to be cherished. We hope you enjoy browsing our collection, and that you discover something truly special to call your own.

  • 🌍 Sustainable Choice

    Fast fashion takes a heavy toll on our environment. By choosing pre-loved, you’re giving beautiful garments a second life and reducing textile waste. Together, we keep clothing out of landfills and protect our planet for the future.

  • 🪡 Character in Every Thread

    Unlike mass-produced fashion, vintage garments come with quirks and charm; unique textures, trims, and details that set them apart. Each unique element is part of what makes them truly one-of-a-kind.

  • 🎯 Curated With Care

    We don’t just sell clothes, we handpick timeless, one-of-a-kind pieces that bring personality back to your wardrobe. From retro classics to unique statement finds, each item is chosen for its quality, charm, and wearability.

  • Lennie and Boston are an absolute joy to work with. Their boutique costumes are created with exceptional attention to detail, incredible quality, and a deep understanding of the brief. Each piece not only captured the essence of the character and truly shone on stage, but was also thoughtfully adapted for danceability, allowing me to move freely without ever compromising on style. Their artistry and professionalism made the entire process seamless, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

  • “I absolutely love the Holly Hobby bag for so many reasons.  First of all, it’s adorable and took me straight back to my childhood.  Though more importantly, it was a very practical bag to use whilst sightseeing and spending the day on my feet; it fit quite a few things in it while sitting comfortably across my shoulder to spend the day walking around. I received some comments from strangers on how beautiful the bag was and that they also remember Holly Hobby. A lovely little conversation starter! Looking forward to taking her on more weekend adventures soon. 🥰”

  • In every musical there are particular characters that need their costumes to absolutely nail the brief. For us it was the dreaded Trunchbull in Matilda. She had to be fierce, structured and formidable. Every accentuated line and detail was masterfully executed by Lennie and Boston to heighten the unyielding nastiness of the Olympic hammer throwing champion turned school Headmistress. Working with Leanne is always a dream. She is highly creative, detailed and collaborative in her approach, seeking always to understand the vision of the director and surpass this with her innovative approach to costume design. Looking forward to the next project with Lennie and Boston!

  • I had a 40 year old tutu that was mine as a child and my own children had also enjoyed it for many years so it was quite worn out. I approached Lennie & Boston to see if there was any way of restoring it - the final product was beyond anything I’d hoped or imagined! My eldest grand daughter is now enjoying dancing in her “princess tutu” and this tutu is going to be enjoyed by many more princesses to come. Thank you Lennie & Boston for bringing life back to this garment that is so special to me.

    - Melinda S

  • We are so grateful for Lennie & Boston's services on multiple occasions including a quick solve for a Cinderella dress that no longer fit for an Eisteddfod. Leanne's creativity and quick solutions made the perfect outfit possible. We also needed chiffon skirts made for a large dancing group which Leanne produced with perfection. I highly recommend Lennie & Boston's excellence in costume making and alterations.

    - Amy

  • Lennie and Boston has a true passion for all things Design and Costume. You can see this by the care that is taken in sewing together their costumes. We ordered a baby shark dress which just blew us away! The movement in the dress was so fun, my daughter was twirling around for ages. The detail was evident, it was made to her measurements, it fit well and even down to the eye and hook I was impressed with the quality. Lennie and Boston has the experience you will need to make your costume dreams come true. Leanne is wonderful to deal with and will help you every step of the way.

    - Kaitie S

  • We engaged Leanne’s services to design and make a range of iconic costumes for our production of Singin’ in the Rain. Leanne worked with us collaboratively to ensure all costume items achieved the vision & could support the blocking & choreography requirements of the production. She designs with careful attention to detail to accurately reflect the tailoring of the era. Leanne’s costumes pop on stage & are beautifully & masterfully crafted: they are an asset to any production. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    When purchasing vintage clothing, please be aware that items may show signs of wear and age, including minor flaws or fading, which are characteristic of vintage items. We strive to accurately describe any significant flaws in the item description, but please note that all sales are final, and we do not offer refunds or replacements. 

    We do not guarantee the longevity or durability of vintage clothing, as it is subject to natural wear and tear. 

    We make every effort to accurately describe any significant flaws, such as rips, stains, repairs, or holes, in the item description. However, please review the photos and descriptions carefully before making a purchase. 

  • Vintage sizes can vary greatly compared to modern sizing. We do our best to provide accurate measurements and fit descriptions based on today's standards, but please be aware that the garment tag size may not be representative of the actual fit.

  • Flat Lay Measurement Explained:

    When you see "flat lay measurements" in a product description or sizing chart, it means the garment is laid flat on a surface, and measurements are taken across the width at specific points. 

    FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A SIZE GUIDE - VISIT THIS PAGE

    Common Measurements:

    Bust: Measure across the fullest part of the chest, typically just below the armholes. 

    Waist: Measure across the smallest part of the waist. 

    Hips: Measure across the fullest part of the hips. 

    Shoulder: Measure across the shoulder seam from one outer edge to the other. 

    Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem of the garment. 

    Why it's useful:
    Flat measurements help you compare a garment's dimensions to your own body measurements or other garments you own to determine if it will fit well. 

    Doubling the Measurement:
    Remember that flat measurements often represent half of the garment's circumference, so you'll need to double the measurement to get the full circumference. For example, if a bust measurement is 42cm, the entire front + back when lying flat is 84cm

  • Yes, all pieces are cleaned and inspected before they’re listed for sale.

  • Please handle vintage clothing with care, as it may be delicate. Wash and store the item according to its material type.
