Each garment is custom made to your specifications, you tell me how you want your garment or costume made, pricing depends on trims, styles, and make.
My garments and dresses are made from authentic patterns, historical photographs, drawings or specific patterns from customer's request. I also can use patterns you choose from your local retail store, just include the pattern name and number, in your e-mail when asking about pricing.
All of my garments are custom made to order, and I do not offer “off the rack garments” although I may sometimes have a display or sample dress you may be interested in. Gowns and garments shown on my web pages are photographs of garments I have made for customers, I do not carry any garments or costumes in stock.
