5 out of 5 starsThis was a custom order for pieces for a WW1 and WW2 nurse’s uniform (1x blouse, 2x skirts, 1x apron). Joanna was wonderful to work with as always. She came up with a brilliant design from the information I gave her, and sourced period-correct fabric and buttons. The items were all dispatched promptly and packaged with care. Everything fits beautifully and I’m over the moon with my order - the pieces look like they’ve stepped straight out of a museum or archive! So happy!

5 out of 5 starsEspecially well made products, for a special project of mine! For which I have looked for the right sew mistress for a while. Joanna helped me finalise some of the choices I had to make and it was a great pleasure to work with her! Thanks so much for the incredible items you made for me and there will most definitely be more projects come your way!

Fantasy and cosplay
Award winning steampunk designer of historical, vintage and alternative fashions.
I have been designing dresses and gowns for as long as I can remember and have been making them since graduating in 2006. I made my own wedding gown and felt confident to start making for others. I love history and fantasy so my designs are a whimsical mix of eclectic pieces that reflect my personality. I have a house full of vintage furniture and quirky decor pieces and I’m fortunate enough to have a spacious work room and customer fitting room. In 2014 I became fully self employed with the help of Etsy enabling me to reach a worldwide audience. Steampunk allowed me to embrace my creativity and bring my designs to customers all over the world, both steampunks and ordinary people who like the timeless vintage feel of my work. For two years running I was voted Best Individual Designer by an online steampunk magazine and I have featured show piece collections on the catwalk at Europe’s largest steampunk festival. I am passionate about British design and creative small businesses, often collaborating with accessory designers and photographers. I am currently working on a long term range of showpiece photoshoots inspired by my love of fairytales.

CLOTHING
For corsets and garments that are MADE TO ORDER, we cannot accept returns that are the wrong size or if you change your mind. The items will be made to the measurements supplied by you and it is unlikely we would be able to resell the item. Please double check your measurements and ask us if you are unsure about anything. Once your order is placed we will assist you as best we can to take correct measurements or recommend you ask a local seamstress to do them for you. Do be prepared to have some alterations done locally. Dress making is a fine art and a perfect fit cannot always be guaranteed due to all body shapes being unique. We do not cover the costs of any alteration work.
For READY TO SHIP accessories, corsets and garments, please double check on the sizing. We will accept returns, however you must contact us within seven days of receipt to inform us of your intentions. We do not refund shipment costs and the refund will be processed once we receive the item back in pristine condition.
If your item is FAULTY on arrival, please contact us within 7 days of receipt and we will endeavour to assist you to the best of our ability. We want you to be happy with your purchase, but please bear in mind 'faulty' does not mean fitting issues, but damaged. Please ensure damaged packaging is noted on receipt and photograph if necessary. Take care when opening your package. We do not recommend using knives or scissors.

International delivery may be a minimum of an additional ten days. Your item may get delayed in customs. We take no responsibility for this or any charges incurred.
Ready to wear items will be shipped once full payment has cleared.
UK orders will be sent via Royal Mail first class recorded, international orders via Royal Mail's 'International Tracked'. You will be required to sign for your package. This gives us both peace of mind that your order is on it's way and is delivered safely.
Some accessory items, such as parasols and stockings are sent Royal Mail second class to keep costs down. Although you won't need to sign, I do obtain proof of posting.
