Nightingale Seams
Nightingale Seams do not keep stock items to sell off of the shelf, but create handmade custom works in your preference of colour and size. They are always pushing the boundaries of what they can do, looking to create bigger and more spectacular pieces.
Prices are worked out by cost of materials, time taken and difficulty of the piece. Because Nightingale Seams is a small hobbyist business, they may ask for a deposit in advance and will negotiate timescales around completion

Prior Attire
Prior Attire provide costumes for a variety of periods, starting from the late Roman era, up to the 20th century. Every item is thoroughly researched, and all care has been taken to render it as close to the original as it is possible, using the patterns and techniques appropriate for the period.
The reproduction garments are based on primary sources such as existing items of clothing, period paintings, sculpture or woodcuts and original patterns. We use natural fabrics appropriate for given period, mostly different kinds of wool, linen and silk. We do not make shoes or hats, though we are able to make tablet woven braids, basic embroidery and bobbin lace. All garments are made to measure and have no visible machine seams
