Jolly Dicey Costume
http://www.etsy.com/shop/Jollydiceycostume
Jolly Dicey is a team effort of two very creative ladies in London, England and they make historical and fantastical costumes. They have some items ready made and listed in their shop and are open to custom orders. The level of historical accuracy in their costumes is varied upon their clients needs and desires. They are active in a certain LARP, and do other historical events throughout the year.


Mockingbird Workshop
http://www.etsy.com/shop/mockingbirdworkshop
Mockingbird workshop is the creative endeavors of a friend of a friend, who I now call a friend.  Like many artistic people, her creative work is diversified into more than one medium, so go check out her current listings.

Raven’s Trove
http://www.etsy.com/shop/ravenstrove
Trish makes lovely handmade veils and also has been destashing her pattern collection. She has several out of print costume patterns, particularly in the larger sizes.

Redcedarworks
http://www.etsy.com/shop/redcedarworks
This is the woodworking artisan who made my wooden doll in the 18th century style.
Take a look at the listing!
https://www.etsy.com/transaction/31463890
I still have to add the linen arms to the doll and paint her, but her shape is exactly what I wanted. He did an excellent job at executing the pattern that I had drafted up.
The pattern can be seen here and you can use it to make your own, or have someone else make one for you. Why not contact Redcedarworks too see if he will make one for you since he already has experience in it.

Silverstah
http://www.etsy.com/shop/silverstah
I met her on a wedding board and just followed her around the net. At one point I did order some fiber from her, and she was the inspiration for the little toddler Bias Plaid Cottes that I have made and will eventually be a pattern produced by Corsetra Designs.
On her Etsy page she is selling handmade ready to wear costumes suitable for SCA and Ren fair as well as Fantasy wear. She also has destash items listed. So look for fabric, trims, and patterns.

Blankie Doodle
And finally a non-Etsy crafter (because she hasn’t gotten to Etsy!) is my Sister who makes custom baby blankets. You can see her work on this webpage
http://www.blankiedoodle.com/
and her Facebook page as well.
(please note She is NOT blankiedoodle.blogspot)

So please go and visit my friends' shops and when you order, tell them you heard about them from Corsetra!
