| Margaret's Millinery and Dressmaking |
| I'm a professional seamstress with over 10 years experience in machine and hand sewing. I am also a milliner, which means I specialize in making historically accurate hats and bonnets. I enjoy history and research, and I try to make my period costumes as historically accurate as possible while still staying on a budget. However, not all my costumes are historical, as I do and can make costumes for Halloween, Mardi Gras, and other modern occasions. I currently serve the Galveston-Houston area of Texas, although I can make costumes for those out of the area. I most often make costumes for clients who attend Dickens on The Strand and the Texas Renaissance Festival. However, if you do not see a type of costume listed, please feel free to contact me, as these are just a few examples of what I can do and what I have done in the past. |

| The seamstress is not currently accepting new projects until March 2012. Please keep in mind that summer is THE BEST time to get your custom-made costume made! I am a teacher, so it is difficult to get items finished on a timely basis during the school year. Please do not wait last-minute, as I will accept new projects to my discretion during the school year - especially the fall, as I am busy going to The Texas Renaissance Festival, Oni-Con, and Dickens on the Strand. I accept cash, money orders, and PayPal. I also accept checks, but they must clear before receiving the item. Note to long-distance clients: Since I cannot be there to measure you, it is your responsibility to send me accurate measurements. The more accurate they are, the better your costume will fit. |
