J & D White ( Williamsburg wedding )

'I just wanted to say thank you the burgundy silk Tudor doublet, it is fantastic and fits great. I think it would look nice in black silk as well, - keep the pattern! ........I can't wait for the next part, [vest and paned trunkhose] with the red and gold embroidery that I fell in love with..... '
David Bills ( UK )

'The costumes arrived safely today and look fantastic! We've already enjoyed trying the hats on, and fortunately I have a Tudor workshop tomorrow, so will be able to put those to good use straight away. '

'The hats [95th Rifles Shakos]are wonderful, thank you for all your efforts'

'This is just to say I collected my new kirtle from the post office this morning and I'm really pleased with it - great fit (especially the length as being only 5' these things are usually way too long for me) - so thanks very much for your very quick response and lovely garment. '
Jayne Harris ( UK )

'Well, what can I say. The breeches are amazing, they fit well and are very comfortable. They look good, especially the pewter buttons which add that little bit extra to them. They are a good colour and are lined with an excellent, non itchy material. I am very pleased with them. The Dutch Coat is fantastic, it`s beautifully made and the material is of a very high quality, it will keep me warm for many years to come I am sure. The cut and fit are perfect and there is room to wear my company coat underneath as well. Both items are highly accurate for the period and I am very pleased with them. They are worth every penny and I will be recommending you to all my fellow re-enactors. Thank you for all your time and help, I really am a VERY happy customer. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future. '
David Lewis ( UK )

' I would like to thankyou greatly, the doublet is perfect, and the colour exactly what I was after. The shirt and falling band are also excellent, I can't express how pleased I am with it all. I will certainly come to you again to satisfy my obscure clothing needs! Many thanks.'
J. Gregory ( UK )

' Many thanks guys, The tunic arrived this morning. It looks great and fits really well, can't wait to wear it at Lanark this weekend. One of my colleagues is so taken with the workmanship that she wants to order a medieval dress from you. I've passed on your contact details. '
Dave Adams ( Scotland )

'Hi Gini I Have now seen the costumes - they look fantastic, Monica and Andy are going to be very chuffed indeed, I am a bit jealous - oh well, I suppose there's always next year. Thanks again '
Kirsty Sherwood ( Education Officer.Tamworth Castle. )

'Many thanks for the brilliant frock and wonderful undies. The corded petticoat is masterly. It is such a pleasure to have such beautifully finished garments. Pat on the back time!! Only wish I was 7 years old - the sort of clothing I would have loved.'
Lesley E ( Cheshire )

'The doublet & hat arrived safely today. What can I say?! The doublet is spectacular - it looks tiny on the hanger and yet it fits perfectly! Thank you so much for all the work which you put into this, which I know was considerable.'

'Just a quick note to say a big thank you for managing to supply us with the black velvet cloak so quickly. It looks fantastic and has far exceeded my expectations. Many thanks again.'
Julie Bowen ( Lonestar Presentations )

'I just picked up the order from the post office. These are terrific! Thankyou so much! I only wish that I could have ordered all the other items I wanted. This should be enough to get the [book] cover done though. Again, Thankyou for your nice work! I hope to add more to my costume collection in the future and will no doubt be calling on you again! '
Nathan Greene ( Michigan USA )

'I have left this thank you letter until last on purpose. The reason for this is that it's a little bit more difficult to write, than just thank you! You really made the day special for me through your hard work and everybody raved on about how beautiful everything was. It was all just perfect. Another very very big thankyou is for all your support throughout. I now consider you to be a friend as you listened and helped and in fact, I don't know what I would have done without you!! Thankyou'
Meta & Andy ( Rickmansworth )

'Thank you for the wonderful garments you made. I can not get over the quality of your work and the exceptional value for money that you provide………I've never been more satisfied with anything I've bought mail order.'

'The dress is lovely and looks the biz. It went down a treat at Petworth on Saturday, everyone wanted to know who had made such a fine garment.'
Lizzie Gilkes ( Timespan )

'Thank you so much for the beautiful dress which arrived this morning. I have only just got home from work and couldn't wait to step straight into it. It is everything I've ever dreamed of wearing since I was a little girl. I am so looking forward to it's first outing in a few weeks, then I plan to take it to the medieval banquet at a convention I am attending later in the month. Right now though I think it will be hard to make myself take it off and I might just have to sit around the house in it (if and when I ever get tired of walking up and down in front of the mirror admiring it).The braid has made it extra special thank you for this touch.
