This shop started out of my love for historical attire and sewing. I work hard to bring you original pieces sewn with care, not out of a factory were dozens are made. I also, enjoy making pieces that reflect characters from films, books or a customers design, in which case the design isn't completely my own.
Generally, I only make one piece per fabric, so while you may see the same design it will have its own uniqueness by having a different fabric. What I offer is worth every penny you will spend and more! You will be getting products that are made completely by a designer(me) from start to finish. My doll outfits usually take days or even weeks to complete and I often spend time researching different styles of a period before choosing a design or combo of designs.
At the very least, I offer pieces that reflect a period accurately with modern elements; at most, I do everything short of sewing the whole piece by hand to be accurate for the time, often adding hours, even days, of hand sewn details. Researching every aspect I can about a piece and how it was made in a its time period, down to what colors were used for what.

5 out of 5 starsThis is the second pet en l'air I've custom ordered from Historically Designed. I came back because the first was so beautifully made and fit so well. I was not disappointed with this second order. It is beautifully made and fits perfectly. Jessica is a delight to work with, and I highly recommend her if you want quality work.

5 out of 5 starsThe dresses are beautiful but they arrived too late.Actually,if they had arrived last wk,still too late.My Mother is in tough shape. There is now a complete disconnect between body and the mind so doll therapy no longer works.She is unable to get enough nourishment and liquids to sustain life,so now it is a waiting game.I will feel the loss profoundly because my Father died last year.Thank you for the beautiful work. Maybe in a few years,there will be a grand-niece who will enjoy dolls and clothes.My niece is due Jan.4,but even the parents do not know if it will be a boy or girl. Have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous and happy year in 2019 and please wish the same back to me. George

5 out of 5 starsHer work is very professional with a lot of careful finishing. Shewas working with a tricky fabric and having to follow my not exactly very expert instructions and a very oddly shaped doll. Excellent communication. Always kept me up to date. She is now making 2 more dresses for me so count me as a satisfied customer.
