RoughGreenEdges

Over 11 years Rough Green Edges has evolved from a source for non-traditional baby clothes made from refashioned pre-owned material in 2010, to offering bohemian style clothing for girls and women of all ages and sizes for casual to formal wear in 2014. Since 2018 historical costumes and whimsical custom pieces for men, women and children have become a central focus of my creative energy.

Reclaimed beautiful fabrics are still the primary components of everything I make. The unpredictable availability and quantity of these materials make my fashions limited editions by default. People like that. I can offer my creations at reasonable prices because I repurpose quality fabrics I find in a wide variety of places. I like that.

To make Medieval, Renaissance, Regency and Colonial period clothing I found myself learning much more about those time periods than just who wears what, what fabrics and colors were available and how they were made.

History has become much richer for me and I am enjoying making everything from more realistic period clothing for historical reenactors, Renaissance and Medieval Faire actors / performers to beautiful outfits for people to wear to theme parties, cultural events, fantasy fairs or anywhere their fancy takes them.

In 2021 Rough Green Edges children's clothes are chemises and knickers, women's styles are Irish overdresses, sideless surcotes, bodices and layering skirts, men's clothing options include Jacobite shirts, jerkins, tunics, doublets, and vests!

Capes, cloaks, whimsical sweaters and bohemian coats for everyone can be found too.

Most recently I have been making more plus sized period clothing. Wearing beautiful costume pieces makes participation in historical events special. Offering sizes 2X to 4X period items at affordable prices gives me the feeling I am making that experience possible for more people.
