# About me
I am a couturiere, costumiere, corsetiere with over 40 years experience. I have been dressmaking for as long as I can remember, I made clothes for myself while I was at primary school, as I became more interested in fashion I became more interested in the history of fashion and the underpinnings that give clothes the shape they appear to be. So I learned how to make corsets, farthingales, paniers and petticoats.I love sewing, it is my passion and now my livelihood. I continue to learn new techniques and improve my old ones. When I stop learning then it's time to give up!
My current delivery schedule is 6-8 weeks from confirmation of order, I'm versatile and willing to try almost anything...

That's partly why I do it, to bring more attention to them and I started the series in January. It was a pleasure to have featured you!

Oh, ouau! Ces sont très jolie! Compliments de la part des Etats-Unis!
Ces photos, est-ce qu'on peux les utiliser pour références des costumes?
Je suis dessinateur qui veut améliorer comment il dessine les vêtements, et chaque aide est une grande, vous savez?
Et s'il vous plaît, pardonnez mon français si je me suis trompé - je suis un peu rouillé...

Merci, merci bien, et merci de parle en francais mais je suis anglais 
I understood pretty well what you were asking for (I think). You can use my costume for reference but it's better to use primary sources where possible. Errors creep in and become magnified, details get omitted. It very much depends on what you are using my costumes for - if it is for inspriation I have no issues at all, if it is for general line equally I have no problem. If it's for finer detail - unless I have described in detail my references in the deviation description you would do much better to look at original material. I am however flattered by your request...

Vous êtes anglais?
...Alors, merde. ._.
Heh, I was thinking as a general reference - looking at the design of a frock coat or a corset and the like, learning how to tell different garments apart, how to costume a character in a way that makes sense - as opposed to straight-up copying them; I try to do that as little as I can.
Either way, thank you for putting all this neat stuff up!

oui, je suis anglais!
That's fine, I have no problems, if you post on-line though I'd be interested to see what you've done and I would like crediting where applicable.
...and you're welcome
