Well, first of all, thank you. The sort of look you describe is the sort of thing I've been striving for since I started making costumes almost twenty years ago, and it's very gratifying when it's noticed, a little humbling when it's commented upon. :)
Unfortunately, "hand made" has come to have a real bad connotation in ren garb, even though many times it's greatly deserved. I remember one booth in particular at the Des Moines faire where the shirts were so ill-fitting and badly built that I was embarassed for the product, and it wasn't even mine!

I guess that's what drives me. Thank you again.
