5 out of 5 starsI love the design and the fit is great. It also shipped very fast. Thank you for a well put together product. If we have to keep wearing masks we might as well throw in a little style and color into it.

5 out of 5 starsLove this mask only thing I would change about it, is since it ties I would switch the elastic to a long piece of cotton or fabric material.

5 out of 5 starsUpdate!!! Seller contacted me within an hour of messaging her with an apology and a replacement and bonus. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend.
Item shipped promptly. However, before the first wear after a delicate wash, the bottom layers separated. It appears that the seam missed catching the material.

Bursting at the Seams
My Aunt Judith taught me to sew when I was a tender age of twelve. I had just joined the Arthurian Order of Avalon, an educational group about the middle ages, and needed costumes. The very first thing we ever sewed together was an underdress made of black crushed velvet that is still hanging in my closet.
Thus ignited my passion for sewing. From the very meager beginnings of saving my allowance to buy fabric and borrowing my mother’s sewing machine, I grew to costuming myself, friends, and other actors for a variety of rolls and Renaissance festivals.
My love of history has always influenced my sewing, and was the inspiration for branching out from Medieval and Renaissance costuming to Victorian and Colonial costuming. I've also made forays into modern clothing from the forties and fifties.
Over the years my hobby outgrew itself. I doodled costuming designs at my day jobs. My fabric collection started requiring its own room and furniture soon after I left for college, and I owned more sewing books and magazines than I owned DVD’s. I made myself dozens of costumes, though I didn't have enough venues or occasions to wear them.
When I started talking my friends into letting me sew for them, because I had more ideas in my head than I could make for myself, I realized I should pursue a business in sewing. In June of 2011 I opened Tailor of Two Cities and have been actively building it since. In January of 2015 I purchased a full service embroidery shop to expand my offerings, and have made the jump to working on my passion full time.
