Hats from the late 19th and early 20th centuries for Victorian teaparties and Edwardian day ensembles and flappers on the go, just demanding to be introduced to an elegant pair of gloves and a smart little purse. Cloches, wide-brimmed straw designs, velvet floppies, garnished with flowers or tied with sashes or draped in silk veiling. There’s a section just for bridal headwear, and the silk roses can be bought a la carte.

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 big catalog of medieval jewelry, where Celtic swirls, gothic spiders, and pagan moons are blown up bold and ornate and sprinkled with crystals. Statement pendants of the ren-faire variety, rings of twisted silver, handflowers and headdresses, and the unusual inclusion of chain belts, which are like big glittery necklaces for the waist. The clothing updates historical dress with a little goth detailing – good stuff for men here – along with wedding gowns and a little mystical leather.

Medieval accessorization in the form of one-of-a-kind dainty little purses whipped up out of tapestries, crystals, and little found bits, frequently crafted with back pockets for cellphone storage. Flowers are clustered together for garlands and roundels, and there are tiaras, circlets, and crowns for twinklier headpieces. The jewelry is full of gemstones and pagan symbolism, the stationery is all fantasy-warrior-witchy chicks, and commissions are welcome, especially for bridal goodies.

Bespoke wedding shoes that include a page of boots: Edwardian buttoned, Victorian laced stilettos, brocade kitten heels, thigh-high if you’re that kind of bride. Lots of ivory and satin of course, but black satin is offered for a witchier look, as well as different heel heights, silk possibilities, and tartan for clan ceremonies and punk dressup.

Painstakingly handcrafted Civil War, Victorian, and Edwardian gowns that reflect a meticulous study of fashion history, particularly the opulence of Charles Frederick Worth. Layers of luxurious fabrics bustle up in voluminous skirts while bodices and buttoned jackets set off the figure from above, embellished with hand beading and pleats and venice lace. Period-correct hats and fans can be made to match the dress, and custom is extremely welcome.
