Love your website. But I see that in your costumes in cinema,you didn’t mention
the series “Lillie” (Lillie Langtry)–the costumes were outstanding.
Hello there – I’m needing a few high quality bespoke 15th C costumes and to my amazement there is an almost complete lack of anyone in England who is actually free and willing to work on pre-jacobean stuff to a high quality. I had a couple people at Royal Opera House doing things but the ROH decided they may not do any work on the side. Same story at the Globe! Perhaps you know someone over here who can do the fittings? thanks – Rupert
Hey, I love your site and am amazed at your costumes-lovely! Outstanding detail! Why aren’t you in Hollywood making dresses for films? I have just purchased a kirtle from a site that does Medieval stuff and am going to decorate it with the idea that surely even I can make a garment that simple. Your webiste with its lovely dresses is quite the inspiration.
Regards,
Andrea
beautiful work!

Gorgeous work! However, many of the links and pictures leading to said links are dead. Would it be possible to fix them?
Thanks, I’ve been meaning to get to that and will do so soon!
