A new Middle Class Elizabethan styled Shirt for a client in Nebraska for an end of May wedding. The ensemble will include a Doublet with detachable sleeves, hat, and button fly breeches with hidden side pockets and belt loops.

I receive many requests for these Shirts/Chemises. Most come in white with decorative stitching, I do other colors upon customer request. Shirts/Chemises are made with 100% cotton, figure 8 ruffs, lace edging, button and loops for easier wear. I go by Neck and Wrist sizes with an extra 1 inch for ease. The shirts are quite roomy.

Costs, including shipping via USPS Priority Mail($16 to $20 depending on location), are Small to XL...$180. 2XL to 3XL....$185. These Shirts/Chemises take upwards to 4 1/4 yards of fabric and 6 to 7 1/2 hours to make by machine and hand sewing. All seams are surged to prevent unraveling.

I request a 2 month in advance notice for orders, as I order much of my fabrics now online and it takes up to 10 days to get to me. With Renaissance Festivals now in progress, it is never too early to get an order in. I do want to make sure your order gets to you in time for your event. For I am one person and I take my workmanship very seriously. Quality is what I am about.

Clients prefer to pay via Credit or Debit card via Square. PayPal is another option. All financial information is kept confidential. PM or email me for more information. Businesses who find making shirts cumbersome, and Costume Directors of Renaissance Festivals, are free to contact me as well to work out equitable solutions. 😃

The client in Connecticut for whom I did a Custom Doublet for, wore it the last weekend in September. He sent me this photo.

This was a pleasure to do this for him. We come in all shapes and sizes. Custom does cost more up front, but years of enjoyment and having something that fits, are so worth it. Thank you to this client for his trust and faith in my abilities to give him joy. I look forward to working with him again.
