Research and Design Services
For re-enactment, living history and theatrical costume




I offer a research and design service, wherein I create an artists rendition of your re-enactment "persona" or theatrical character, using my own personal library of published books and primary sources.
​
For re-enactment clothing, many things have to be taken into account to ensure historical accuracy
​
• Year
•Country
• Region within the country
• What dye plants are available in that region
•Occupation of persona
•Social class of persona; determining what access they would have to fabrics or dyes from outside their local area
•Sumptuary Laws of the time
​
This can take countless hours of research; evaluating trustworthy sources, translating primary ones and sometimes even purchasing expensive research books.
​
My service cuts this all out, saving you a great deal of time and money. This can be especially beneficial for new re-enactors who are still finding their feet in interpretation. I can even provide a list of retailers for historically accurate materials.
​
Please Note:
This service is included when you purchase a bespoke garment from me.
