The Silicon Web Costumers Guild AKA: The Virtual Costumers’ Guild

The Silicon Web Costumers' Guild (SiW) is a non-profit, educational organization for those who are interested in costumes and costuming. Our members include historic reenactors, professional, educational and community theatrical costumers, science fiction fans, renaissance festival participants, and a vast array of others who are interested in the making, wearing and display of costume.

Founded in 2003, we are a "virtual" community whose members interact using Internet technologies, including this web site, an online costuming magazine, newsgroups, email, and other social networking tools.

SiW is a chapter of the International Costumers' Guild (ICG), an international organization that brings hobbyist and professional costumers from around the world together, and fosters, through its local chapters, educational and social costume events.
