A gigantic catalog of handmade historical clothing and beyond for men and women, from Marie Antoinette ensembles to anime costumes. Full of gowns browsable by era, kids’ outfits, and things for pirates and brides, as well as harder-to-find key dressup bits: Elizabethan partlets, maternity bodices, a page of “underskirt devices,” elaborate neck ruffs, bodice jewels, wedding circlets, all the period-appropriate hats, velvet jester hose that offer the option of coordinating codpieces if that’s the kind of guy you are. Custom is extremely welcome.

Fairy wings for kids and like-minded grownups. Butterfly, ladybug, angel, fiery, swirly, stripey – exquisite work whether capturing the trailing petals of a flower pixie or the webbiness of a bat’s wing. Custom is welcome to the point of a whole page devoted just to bridal designs.

A Des Moines art gallery specializing in the dark and morbid. Shameless pulp, unsettling black and white photography, surrealistic cartooning, the styles are diverse with a welcoming vibe towards outsider artists. Besides signed prints, they also showcase other horrific wares: monster masks, horror movie tees and toys, scream-filled pop art pendants, body jewelry that leans towards the demonic, evil dolls, and if you’re in the area, the in-person items include such delights as a “vintage case full of dead stuff.”

Richly detailed masks made with delicacy and decadence. Beaded webs that sprout a spider’s corona from the forehead, fringes of Czech glass cascading down the cheeks, outspread wings cloaking the face in the flight of a bat, a mask-within-a-mask set where a human visage is held before a skull. Custom is welcome but limited: only the handheld and half-face designs are available for total commission, with the wilder stuff done only by small modifications and if she likes your ideas.

Fetish meets cyber for a rendezvous with pagan. The apocalyptic staple is turned in a more primal direction with the addition of animal faces, where breathing hoses are added to the stern black and gold visage of Anubis. Horses, donkeys, all kinds of painted cats, done full-face or completely covering the head. Custom welcome. Thanks, Sara!

Kanzashi! Intricately folded flowers of hand-dyed silk, plum blossoms and chrysanthemums and even sunflowers perched on clips, combs, headbands, hair prongs, and brooches. Obi belts feature size-adjustable corset lacing and big fat bows and kimono blouses are on the way. The rest of the catalog tips fae/bellydance with filigree wings and ornate headdresses, dichroic glass twinkles and winterberry branches sculpted from wire. Custom welcome.

Corsetry made with 50’s silhouettes in mind, adding Marilyn halters and off-the-shoulder straps to the traditional sweetheart overbust, whipped up out of cherries, skulls, tattoos, or a neato Eschereque optical illusion cat print. They also stock some of What Katie Did’s cinchwear along with sparkly masks and fluorescent tutus.
