Purchase of a Made-to-Measure Outfit
Before ordering a Made-to-Measure Outfit from Guinevere’s Dream you will no doubt have a few questions, such as: Can we make it? How much will it cost? How long will it take?
We can make just about anything you want, just so long as it is made from fabric. Before we can answer any other questions however, we will need to know something about the outfit or garment that you have in mind.
What is the outfit or garment for? is it for re-enactment, theatre, a special event…? the use to which the outfit is to be put to may affect the way it has to be made and what it has to be made from and how long it will take to make.
What fabric and what colour? some fabric and colour combinations can be tricky to source, others are very easy. Therefore, before we start, we need to know your preferences.
Do you have a budget for your outfit? some idea about how much you wish to spend will help us to help you. For example, you may wish to order a reproduction of an outfit you have seen in a movie. Most movie costumes are lavishly expensive because of the fabrics that are used, but in many cases there are cheaper alternatives. Knowing that you have a budget for the reproduction will prevent us from suggesting the expensive original fabric.
What are your measurements? we will have to know this eventually so why not tell us as soon as possible, your size will not affect the price of your outfit, in most cases we would require the same length of fabric to make a size 14 as we would to make a size 24. The reason we would like to know your measurements from the start is that we believe that you should look and feel special and happy in one of our garments, if we think that you have made a poor choice of outfit or one that will not suit your size we will tell you and make every attempt to suggest a better alternative. To find out what measurements we need to know please use our Measurement Guide.
Once you have gathered the information that we require you can contact us by email: [email protected] we will then work out an estimated cost for your order and contact you. If you are happy with the estimate, and assuming that we have all the information that we need, then all that you have to do is send us a cheque made payable to Gail Griffiths or Guinevere’s Dream for half the estimated cost of your order, Click Here for more information on payments.
Once your cheque has cleared, and if we are able, we will begin work on your order. When it is near completion we will contact you again to advise you of the final cost of your order including Postage and Packing.
As soon as your cheque has cleared at our bank (usually 3-5 days) we will despatch your outfit to your designated delivery address by Royal Mail Special Delivery, we will also contact you by email to advise you to expect delivery by noon the next working day.
Please allow 4 to 8 weeks for me to make your order.
