" We Seem To Forget That Couture Is Craft" ~ Coco Chanel
Fall is coming. I can feel it in the air. Halloween is calling and Im already thinking about Christmas. Sad, but true! The good news is that I am INSPIRED by the coming season and the looks of lace and ruffles in the fashion magazines and runways overseas.
If Im actually inspired by a fashion season, you can bet that I'll be coming up with fun things to wear! Stay tuned!!!! XXX
KathleenCrowleyCostumeCouture has been creating custom clothing and uniquely wearable costuming for 20 years. Our pieces have been worn world wide. No two pieces are ever the same. Most fabrics and notions are shopped for locally - hand picked and put together by Ms. Crowley and her elves. Prices may vary and change depending upon scarcity/availability of sources. There is quite a buzz happening concerning our current trend in belly dance costuming.
Please look around and check in every now and then as we will be posting fun, funky, beautiful, and divinely wearable works of art and pleasure as soon as Ms Kathleen can make them!
We gladly take custom orders for Fluffie Rufflies™.

I know this isn't going to cut it for everyone in the inseam and hip department, so just let me know if you need another size and I’ll work it out for you. These are the most asked for sizes at this point in time. I’ll still do custom orders - inquire about pricing or larger sizes.
***Wait time can be up to 2 months or more depending on fabric availability and how swamped I am! Please understand that in order to keep the price down for you, I cannot use certain materials. However, if price is no option - you just go ahead and ask for whatever you are visualizing and I will happily do my best to accomadate you! :)******

Please have someone take your measurements for you if can. If you bend over at all while taking them, YOUR PANTS WILL BE TOO SHORT!!!!!!!! I cannot be responsible for this.
Custom garment orders are non returnable and non refundable. If you make a color request, consider that a custom garment. I reserve the right to put ruffle colors and textures together according to how I see fit unless we discuss otherwise.
That said, I want you to be happy and I will do the very best I can to make you a garment that you love. Clothing transforms. I want this for you. Please contact me if you have any concerns.
