Welcome and Thank you for visiting my website.
I am a Custom Clothier specializing in Vintage Reproduction Clothing, Costuming and Art to Wear. I work in all eras and styles including Ethnic wear and would be happy to create a special garment or show you how a vintage “wardrobe” can fit within your lifestyle. ---Childrenswear is most welcome.
From poodle skirts and petticoats to formal dresses, pedal pushers and summerwear, I have a wonderful selection of vintage designs to suit your needs. I will also be more than happy to work from a pattern you provide, if you so choose.
From my private pattern collection---Era style choices at this time are heavily 1940's through the 60's. Commercial patterns from all eras are now available and I would also be happy to search for a vintage pattern to suit your needs. I will be expanding my personal collection down into the Victorian, Edwardian and Medieval eras. I already have some current Renaissance/Medieval styles and fun costumes. I also have custom drafting software to meet a variety of needs.
Please visit the GALLERY to see examples of my work.
As Your Personal Custom Clothier I offer you:
UNLIMITED STYLE & FASHION CHOICE---Are you bored with what is in the current marketplace or just can't find what you are looking for? Your choice of fabric, trim, style, color and shape to flatter you personally.
VINTAGE STYLING---Unavailable in the general marketplace. Were you “born in another era” and don’t care for the current fashion choices?
QUALITY---Tired of buttons popping off, seams coming undone and a general look of wear and shrinkage after one or two launderings? My clothing is made with an eye towards quality and durability with any special touches you desire.
EXCELLENT FIT---According to the measurements you provide, or I personally take, if you are a local customer. Looking for a garment that is in correct proportion to your body and stature?
PERSONALIZED ATTENTION---One of my main goals is to satisfy your particular garment needs and work with you as an individual.
PRICING CHOICES---Unit pricing for the budget conscious. Unit price+ design detail+fabric/notions/treatment=cost.
I am a member of the Professional Association of Custom Clothiers, PACC. I meet and strive to exceed their standards. Reading what to expect on the PACC link and also my Business and Service Style page will give you a good idea of what to expect in using my services and how I run my business.
