Court Garb

On this page you will find some of my recent commissions for Court garb, which is Special Order only. If you're interested in an outfit for Court, or any other special occasion, please contact me for further information. Court garb requires a process of fittings and mockups, which I prefer to do in person, however, this isn't always possible due to distance, time constraints and random acts of nature. In the event that fittings can not be done in person, please have a competent assistant who can fit mockups to you, take correct measurements, etc. Sketches, fabric swatches and contracts will be sent for approval, and all Court Garb is considered contract work, with all the legalities and stipulations contained therein.

All that aside, indulge your inner prince or princess, get outfitted for that Feast, or show them all up at Halloween parties! Velvets, silks, satins, even wools and linens, a feast for the eye and a joy to wear, all custom-created to suit your tastes and desires.
