Custom Made Outfits

A custom made service is now available offering dresses, blouses, mens jackets and trousers.
Below are some pictures of what we have made for people already. We will shortly add some more designs including blouses, and ladies dresses.
Please note that there is generally 8/10 weeks between ordering and receiving your garment. Smaller items may be available more quickly.

Ladies Blouse

Cotton blouse with frills at front, neck and cuffs and buttoned down the front. This has lovely full sleeves gathered to a buttoned cuff.
£55 including materials

We can make a simplified version that fastens at the rear neck and has gathered cuffs rather than buttoned ones for £40.

If you would like to discuss variations on this design please give us a ring and we will be happy to discuss your requirements.

Mans Early Victorian Jacket

Early victorian jacket with stand up collar, double breasted, tails to the rear with vent and fully lined.
Normally the trousers would be a different shade to the jacket, but on this occassion we were asked to make them the same. The trousers are the same style as the ones below.
Jacket can be ordered at a cost of £95 plus material.

If you would like a Sweeney Todd style waistcoat this is avalable for £40 plus materials

Fall front trousers

Our latest project was to make a pair of 1830's style trousers. These have a drop down flap front rather than a fly fastening. the check material makes a very dandy pair of trousers.

These can be custom made at £75 plus material, you can either go for the check or a plain fabric if you prefer.

Greenwich pensioners

We were recently asked to custom make child size replicas of the coats worn by Greenwich Naval pensioners, for use by a theatre company at Greenwich Museum.
The blue coat ws everyday wear, but the custard yellow and red was the "naughty" coat.
If you misbehaved, eg were drunk, you had to wear that for the day.
This was an interesting project as all we had to go on were some paintings of the pensioners. The pattern had to be designed and drawn up before we could embark on making the coats.
Clients were so satisfied with them that we were asked to make another two.
