There are many ideas and techniques we have had to
employ the get the right effects over the years here
are just a few, In order to get the right shades of
cloth or the right pattern if can't be found in a shop
I have often applied the technique of dying the cloth
either tie dye or a straight flat colour dye to achieve
just the right colour.
Most often the best thing to wear under chain mail
in order to make it more comfortable to wear is a quilted
material this can be incorporated in to most costume
designs but can also make a very warm costume for cold
winter nights or just a stunning feature to make a costume
really stand out in a crowd quilting a section of cloth
is a long and painstaking process but in the end well
worth the effort I feel if it what makes the costume
special totaly worth it.

| Many people's characters belong
to houses or knightly orders which require them to wear
house colours or heraldry we can offer either painted
heraldry or the much more popular technique which is otherwise
know as decoupage incorporating a layering cloth and embroidery
technique.
All items can be trimmed with a huge range of ribbons
and cloths, and of course if you wish lining and pockets
can also be added to your costume.
Leather work can be embossed,dyed,painted or studded
with any number of colours or patterns.

If however you have a pile of cloth lying about that
you always meant to do something with but just never
seemed to have the time there are various people who
send us there materials along with what they would like
made and then we only charge for the time spend creating
the items, the same with items which require altering
a favorite dress that doesn't quite fit anymore or a
pair of pants that has split, post them to me or drop
them off at one of the many events we attend over the
summer and I will repair them for the cost of the time
spent repairing the item.
Don't be fooled by the impression custom costume means
expensive or elaborate, indeed a lot of the items I
am asked to produced are often a simple robe or tabard,
as for cost well a pair of bracers can vary from £15
anything up to £45, or a tabard £8 to £50
it entirely depends on what you have in mind, but one
thing we can guarantee is it costs nothing to ask for
a quote and you have nothing to lose in doing so, you
might get a nice suprise. Email

Always we prefer to ask for a picture
to illustrate what you are looking for, it makes it
so much easier to create what you want if we know what
you are thinking of, however this is not completely
necessary, simply a good description will often do.
Of course we do require for people to
send us a set of there measurements in order to get
the right fit, a copy of how to take the measurements
and a information form can
be found HERE. remember when
taking measurements it is very important to be honest
I deal with allot of people large and small and all
information given to us is kept confidential and impartial
