Do I have to use the
proper undergarments
like corsets etc?
If you would like the
proper period look you
should, but no one can
force you to wear
anything you don't want
to. A corset is the most
important undergarment,
as it supports and
creates a smooth shape
to your bodice and helps
replicate the silhouette
of the period. I do also
recommend a pair of open
crotch drawers and a
chemise for under your
corset, but a rib knit
tank top would work also
to prevent your corset
from being soiled and
pressed right against
your skin. A wire bustle
and hoop skirt is
essential if you want a
dress from either
period.
Can I supply my own
fabrics?
I do not accept fabrics
from customers unless I
pre-approve it first. If
we do decide to use your
fabrics a 10% discount
of the purchase price
will be deducted. I will
let you know how much
material is needed for
your design.
Can I see the fabrics in
person before deciding?
When you order a dress I
will send you samples of
fabrics through the mail
as colors on computers
vary and I want you to
see the real material
before starting, unless
the material is a custom
order and is something I
don't have in stock. The
best way to find an
appropriate fabric would
be if you told me the
colors you prefer and I
can
make a few suggestions
based on what is
currently available
Why are your garments so
expensive?
Remember these are not
mass produced in a
factory. These are all
hand made by me and they
are custom made to fit
your specific
measurements, which
require a lot of pattern
constructing to ensure
proper fit, attention to
details and sometimes
countless hours with
hand sewing. Only the
best fabrics, trims and
embellishments are used
and I sometimes custom
order fabrics and trims
which can be costly.
These a high quality
garments and not
costumes and will last
you a life time with
proper care.
Can I have my garment in
less than 8 weeks?
Sure, if my schedule
allows it, but it falls
under the category "Rush
Order". With rush orders
a 30% increase in price
will be added to the
original purchase price.
For beaded and hand
embroidered garments a
50% increase will be
added.
Can I cancel my order?
If you cancel your order
within the first 72
hours I will give you a
full refund. But any
time beyond that for any
reason and you will
forfeit your 30% deposit
for time invested in
creating custom
patterns, material
purchased etc.
My garment needs to be
adjusted.
ONE (1) free
adjustment/alteration is
included in a custom
made garment as long as
it is not a major
alteration and it is due
to inaccurate
measurements on your
part. Customer are
responsible for shipping
cost both ways. If you
need more than a minor
adjustment due to
changes in your
measurements or
inaccurate measurements,
additional fees will
apply based upon the
changes needed.
