THE FINE PRINT otherwise known as the purchasing details:
Prices are based upon current U.S. market prices and are subject to change. Prices do not include shipping charges. Historic Costume will find you the least expensive shipper available.
If the price has a “+” next to it, the price will vary depending upon the cost of the fabric and buttons. Many suitable types of cotton are much more expensive than wool or linen. In addition, the finer the wool, the higher the cost will be.
Prices are for machine-sewn garments. Hand stitching is available for an additional cost. Please contact me so that we can discuss your needs.
Historic Costume does not generally make custom-fit clothing. Clothing is made to fit “off the rack” modern U.S. sizes. If you have questions about sizing please feel free to contact me.
This list is a general guide to the merchandise I create. If you don’t see something that you are interested in, please contact me – I can probably make it.
