Don't want to order a whole Faire package?
You can order a simple bodice, a replacement chemise or add extra skirts to your wardrobe without buying a whole package! Or, if you'd rather order a package and add a few extra accessories, you can do that too!

Are you getting married?
Unfortunately, we are not set up to fill rush orders for wedding gowns. Custom-made wedding gown orders must be placed at least six months before the wedding date. Wedding gown orders must allow enough time for a mock-up fitting to be shipped back and forth. We can fill orders for wedding party attire in under 6 months in most cases (email before ordering to make sure we can meet your delivery deadline), but we no longer accept rush orders for wedding gowns.

What are you looking for? Are you a bride planning a wedding, Renaissance faire attendant, actor, bridesmaid, groomsman, reenactor, living historican, cosplayer, movie costuming enthusiast or a costume designer in need of an extra pair of hands? Simply let us know your needs and we will work with you to create exactly what you need. We can create ANY outfit you need, as long as you can provide a clear sketch or picture for us to work from. We're also proud to work with the wonderful folks from the CD, TG, TV and TS communities.

Our Promise to you:
We want your shopping experience to be flawless, so we would like to promise you a few things:

We promise to treat you like Royalty, whether you are ordering a Noble ensemble or peasant garb. Class is not important to us, but your happiness is.

We promise originality - You won't find carbon copy gowns or assembly line garments here. All items are handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail and are customized to your choice of fabrics and trims. Each item is custom made by hand, especially for you, to your specifications and precise measurements. This is indeed, custom-made clothing - not off-the-rack generically-sized, cheaply made "costume quality" garments.

We promise to help you. Purchasing the perfect outfit can be a little intimidating, epecially for first-time buyers. We will work with you every step of the way. We will answer all of your questions in an extremely timely fashion. We will offer suggestions if you would like them. We will do all the work while you sit back and relax.

We promise to create your perfect ensemble. We want your outfit to be oh-so "you," so we really want to get to know you. We encourage emails, stories and lots of fun chat. We want your ensemble to reflect your personality or your character, so drop us a line!
