I am a recent graduate of the Fashion program at The Honolulu Community College. I have earned my Associates in Applied Science in Fashion Technology.
I am experienced in Basic sewing, pattern making, pattern grading, tailoring, swimsuits and knits, Bridal and Evening, and computer pattern making and grading.
I've been sewing cosplay since 2003 and started designing my own lolita clothing in 2006.
Photos of my work can be seen here Feedback and Sales directory can be found here My machines are a Bernina actva 210 and Elna lock T34.
- Please contact me through email, PM, comments, etc., When you are ready to commission, and send me ideas or references of the outfit/character you want (The more, the better; front, back, side, full body ref. close-ups, details, colors). I will need at least your height and basic bust, waist and hip measurements (that goes for men too)
- Please also give me a deadline/delivery date and at least 2 weeks (to a month for full/large scale costumes) for work, and another week for delivery.
- I reserve the right to refuse to do a garment if I think it is out of my skill range, or if the price, time or quality you want is unreasonable.
I am not very experienced with large/plus custom sizes. I am a very petite girl myself, but I am willing to try and I can only do my very best.
- I draft all my own patterns by hand, and construct each garment personally. All garments will include lining and shirring will be done with casing. Pockets are also included when they can be done. Swimsuits will be fully lined and padded in the bust.
- I will send you an estimate for the cost of labor and materials, and an estimate for shipping.
The price of shipping is subject to change, upon completion of the garment. Only when it is done will I know the exact weight and if it will possibly need special packaging.
- I ask that you pay at least half the total up front (you are free to pay in full if you want). Once payment is received, I will begin work immediately. The cost of materials cannot be refunded, once the materials have been purchased (receipts will be provided as proof, if need be).
I accept Paypal, or cash if I can meet you in person ONLY.
I normally eat the paypal fees unless its a large amount, I'll consider a bit of it into the total.
All prices are in US$
- When the garment is finished, I will ask that you pay the remainder of the cost. Photos of the finished piece(s) will be provided at this point. Once the order is paid for, I will either mail it out or arrange a meeting with you, as soon as possible.
- If you are not satisfied with the garment, I can offer alterations (customer pays shipping) or a partial refund (cost of materials cannot be refunded once purchased)
- Trust me, I have everything to lose. A lot went into my education and tools, and there is nothing else that I want to do outside of Fashion and sewing. I only provide the best customer service and quality garments I possibly can.
- For solid color pieces I like to use medium weight twill, prints and patterns are high quality cotton. Polyester linings.
