Costume Price Guide - 2018
These prices are intended as a guide. Each costume is different and will be priced individually.
Customers will be expected to meet up for a minimum of 3 fittings. Sometimes this is not possible. The garments can still be made but they may not fit or be comfortable. One of the fittings will be to take measurements. If a customer insists on doing this themselves any mistakes due to their mismeasuring will be put right for an extra charge. The second will be to try on a toile that has been constructed mathematically. It will be sculpted to your body. The third fitting will be of the finished or almost finished garments to check for a perfect fit. Please bear in mind there is usually a queue of customers. This can be entertaining if you find yourself between Mary Queen of Scotts and a Victorian prisoner but be prepared for a short wait before I can start sewing it.
