Title: I need a Seamstress!
Post by: Aernn on December 15, 2008, 06:33:47 PM
Hi everyone!

I am in need of a seamstress.  I am needing to purchase a formal winter gown in somewhat specific colors.  It would be somewhat of a uh Elizabethan/Italian style I think.

I thought I had someone who could help me with this, but now they are requesting that I send them a corset/bodice that I already have.  But that turned into a problem as the person I bought that from had not pre-shrunk the fabric so it is too small!

Now the bad part, I need this by March.  I have the money to pay for it, I just need someone who can make it.  I do not have fabric or trim picked out, just general colors.

Any seamstresses here who could help me out?  (I am located in Denver if it makes a difference).

(I couldn't find a list anywhere of those who accept commisions and was not sure where to post this).

Yep, Ottheinrich.  You got that right!  I'm on the schedule for a red velvet Irish dress (with the underskirt matching the tartan of my husband's "good" kilt), and I can't wait!

That makes two of us, as I have a Deep green and tan Elizebethian gown with removeable sleeves and a partlet
