Instagram As a history buff, I enjoy immensely creating bespoke, historically accurate garments for people who care about how they look. You may opt for either machine-stitched, or hand-stitched construction. Both are available, one takes much longer. I use the same approach for other costumes, like the Casa Mos-A Jedi garments. Ruffs and cuffs, and the supporting garment detai
ls, including underclothes, feature prominently in creating an accurate silhouette. I am one of the few people out there who make standing open ruffs and supportasses with any accuracy to their original, historic, construction. I lived, for a time, in Paris, during which I studied fine applied metalwork on period textiles (historic embroidery). I am available to do period embroidery as well, but the lead and turn-around time is longer, as materials need to be imported, and hand-work of that complexity takes time.
