Costumes are made entirely to your measurements and specifications. They can be

commissioned as whole costumes or part of a costume. If you wish to use an existing

pattern I can make it from that or I can draft a pattern for you. I aim to be as

historically accurate as possible with construction methods and the final look of the

costume. I specialize in Victorian costumes, but I will consider any costume commission

from any time period. Period costumes and historical styles can be adapted to make

beautiful and unusual wedding gowns. Please see the Galleries page for more pictures

and details of my period costumes.

As all costumes are individual commissions they vary greatly in price. I prefer to use

natural fibers wherever possible, even for non-historical commissions. Please email

info@hourglasscostumes.com quotations or design ideas.

Dresses

I am always interested in working with museums, and understand that museums have

particular budgetary constraints. If you are from a museum or non-profit institution

please email me with your requirements and budget to discuss your project individually.
