Victoria has made several pieces for me now, and I love, love, LOVE her. As the previous reviewer stated, she is certainly a tailor of dreams.
My first piece with her was an Elizabethan gown. I provided the fabric and she sketched a design for me. We work long distance, but this certainly works out fine. I was thrilled with the end result, and continue to get compliments each time I wear the gown to events. The outfit consisted of a bodice, an overskirt, three sets of sleeves and two underskirts, and a hat. All of this was lined and trimmed with the trim I provided. All of this was done with only one fitting.
My second piece is, so far, my favorite. I wanted a Victorian bustle gown for an event. I found the perfect fabric and sent it to Victoria, telling her..."go wild." I saw no sketches for it, and was excited to see what I would get back. Wow! What I got in return was an absolutely gorgeous gown that I couldn't even have imagined. When I wore it to the event, everyone went absolutely crazy for it. The attention to detail is amazing, from the knife pleating, to the hand-dyed lace, to the gorgeous glass buttons. This outfit was four pieces: a corset, a bodice, the skirt (and bustle pad), and a hat to match it all. The hat, might I add, is stunning.
When I need another piece, she will definitely be the one to go to. I have seen other people in her work, as well as pictures, and the woman is simply a costuming goddess. Thank you, Victoria! read more
