A historical dress catalog that gives equal time to long regal gowns and wench wear, presenting pieces inspired by what German noblewomen wore in 1525, or casualwear from the Rhine-Danube Valley – and all the underthings to further shape the silhouette. There are doublets, vests, breeches, and flowing shirts for the dudes, belts, sashes, and arm garters for further accessorization, cloaks and dashing hats, slippers and pirate boots, and pouches for toting around all the ren-faire necessities.

Retro shoes that sharpen maryjane straps and polka dots with stiletto heels. A definite fetish element is present in the concealed platforms and choices of glitter or leather – and it’s definitely there on the boots page, which includes thigh-hi’s – and custom is most definitely welcome through a bespoke service that offers to make you the shoes of your dreams.
Western-style wedding wear, where cowboy hats and denim bridal gowns are sprinkled with bits of frontier Victoriana. Gingham garters, brocade vests for the groom, veil-trimmed hats, and they have quite the selection of prim little lace boots to go with the voluminous skirts of the era. The dresses are all over the map, from snow-white fairy bodices to sleeves edged in saloon-girl fringe, flowing “blue jean” trains to the embroidered silk of the “Lassoed By Love” number. And of course they have all the ring pillows and toasting sets and other ceremonial necessities, including cake toppers if the happy couple wants to include their horses in the big day.
This catalog touts itself as “the positive place for girls” while offering loads of short, tight, ‘n shiny – and some everyday basics, too. Floral batwing one-shoulder minidresses, sweater tunics and ruffled cardigans, leggings with all kinds of crazy prints/patterns/laces all over them, teeny little miniskirts, bikinis and one-pieces, and the beautifying extends into clip-in locks of hair, wigs, and Nyx cosmetics. Candy-striped spike heels and faux-suede scrunch booties can be found in the shoe section, and the accessories include fedoras, tiaras, cinch belts, fringy knit scarves, and gigantic bags for slogging around glamorously during the day.
A cobbler specializing in reproductions of Roman, Tudor, Civil War, and a little contemporary footwear, “no cemented soles, no nails, no short cuts made to look like they were made by hand, just the real thing.” 18th century riding boots, mid-1700’s brocade slippers with timber heels, jester curled toes, sandals copied from German excavations. Refashioning a particular epoch’s pain-causing peccadillos into a more comfortable shape is very possible, and custom is extremely welcome – if you have a painting or print that happens to depict the shoes of your dreams, this is the place to send it. 
Eco-fashion for men and women. The clothes tend towards wraps and ripples of solid color with the occasional print, stocking everything from slinky cocktail dresses to hoodies and what looks to be delightfully comfy loungewear, as well as rubber handbags and synth-leather shoes. Kids and pets get their own sections of apparel, bedding, and toys, there’s whole divisions of furniture and housewares, and the bath and body stuff includes bright purple body glitter. 
UK purveyors of indie modernity for men and women, shot through with callbacks to mod and rocker style: beatle boots, trilby hats, military jackets, and houndstooth headscarves pop up among hoodies, skinny jeans, floral minidresses, flannel shirts, cincher belts, and loads of band tees. All to be accessorized with bright 80’s jewelry.
