Costume Price Guide - 2010
Please note that due to being overwhelmed with orders in 2008 I have formed a Tudor Costume Makers Guild. The members have been trained in a similar way to me and are practised in making Tudorbethan costumes on a par with mine with an added bonus of each having their own specialist skills. If you desire a costume your order will be given to one of the guild members who will then see to all your needs. These are my prices and are intended as a guide. Each costume is different and will be priced individually. The other guild members' prices will be similar but not necessarily the same.
Customers will be expected to come to the maker for a minimum of 3 fittings. Sometimes this is not possible. The garments can still be made but they may not fit or be comfortable. One of the fittings will be to take measurements. If a customer insists on doing this themselves any mistakes due to their mismeasuring will be put right for an extra charge. Each costume maker will have their own terms. Some might ask for a deposit before starting work.
