How to commission me…
Well, if you haven’t noticed, 90% of the work I do is on commission - what this means is that someone contacts me about having something specific made just for them, and we talk about fabrics, design elements, budget, and all that good stuff. Once everything is good on both ends, I create something just for them, built to their body, for whatever occasion!
If this is something you’re interested in having done, by all means, send me an inquiry about it!
I do warn that, as I am only one person, emails tend to get backed up rather easily (especially when I am going a little crazy with working on orders - sewing them in time takes precedence over answering emails for new inquiries). On top of that, I am the only person, and all of the patterns I use are hand-made off of your measurements, not general sizes and the like, so it can take longer for me to produce a garment than a manufacturer or someone in a foreign company at a sweat shop.
Usually, I ask that you inquire 3 to 4 months before you need your garment, costume, or whatever. The actual construction process can take as long as 3 months (especially if materials need to be special ordered) or as little as a week - it all depends on my work load at the time, and my sanity as well ;3
Also, you’d be surprised at my pricing, especially for cosplay costumes. Granted, nothing I make a full costume of is under $100, however, I am incredibly comparable to those cheap costumes you find on eBay - I recently took a look at some of them, and was shocked to see that their prices were, on average, only 25% less than having me make something that I can promise will look (and fit, but that’s another ramble for another time) 10 times better!
All right! That aside, I’m sure you’d like to know how to contact me, correct?
