This chart is provided as a guide only, rarely does anyone
conform to the exact measurements given here. The beauty
of having a gown made to measure is just that, the gown is made
to fit you and not the other way around.

Q.
Can I visit your shop?
A. Rated number two of the most frequently
asked questions.
We do not have a shop, Guinevere's Dream is a small e-business,
which I run with the help of my partner from our home in South
Yorkshire.
We are pleased to invite customers to our home, by prior
appointment, to discuss their requirements.
However, the vast majority of our work is done via the internet
and by email:
info@gd-costumes.co.uk
At least 24 hours notice is required for the cancellation of all
appointments, failure to give proper notice may result in a
"Cancelled Appointment" fee being charged.

Q.
Do you make costume from the movies?
A. Yes, quite often. The thing to
remember about Movie Costume is that in many cases hundreds,
often thousands of pounds or dollars can be spent on a costume
that is in a movie for thirty seconds. There is no way
that this kind of opulence can be recreated on the limited
budget available to most of we lesser mortals.
We can make costume inspired by those we see in the movies, or
if you can really afford it, we can look into recreating as
close a copy as fabric availability will allow, but that is
seldom an inexpensive option.

Q.
Do you make costume from any historic period?
A. Quite simply, yes.
The history of costume has been a passion of mine for quite some
time. But I find that most people come to me for costume
inspired by the medieval period.
Back to Top
Q.
Do you do Fancy Dress?
A. No.
We regard the work we do, as personal tailoring and dress making
in a historic style.
Fancy Dress is what you throw together to go to a friends party
at the weekend or to help out in a charity pub crawl. We
produce costume and garments for special occasions.
Back to Top
Q.
How much will it cost...?
A. How much do you want it to cost?
I work on an hourly rate; therefore, the more time your outfit
takes to source and produce, then the more expensive it will be.
Or you can give me a budget to begin with and I will tell you
what I can do for you within that budget.
It will never be as cheap as a High Street dress shop, but you
will be getting a hand made custom outfit, made for you at a
very reasonable price.
