Hello old and new friends! This place really took off lately! Thought I’d post some of my favourite coats I’ve made over the years since it’s not all stays and corsets here!

Accepting a couple commissions for the fall!
At this point I can only ship within Canada, or do GTA pickup.
Unfortunately I have a much smaller studio space so I can’t cut a full coat or jacket.
Please reach out via 📧

My pitch to follow me on Instagram: I just post photos, no reels, save one here and there if I want to show off a fabric or garment from various angles and even then like once a year

Footwear Friday once again! These everyday shoes were owned by Margaret Gorsline Baker (1820-1853) of Stillwater, NY during her short adult life. Their square toes and flat soles are au courant with the fashions of the 1830s-1850s. www.facebook.com/fenimoreartm... 🗃️🪡

Did a bit of a "thrift flip" and turned a rather sad and damaged vintage dress someone gifted me into a late 18th century outfit

I will be making another set of 1830s stays next, but this time in black 🖤

Since the general consensus is that tarrifs don't affect US orders under 800 at this time.... I might consider doing a couple US stay or waistcoat or other lower value garment and pattern. For Fall 2025 shipping.

Are you in Canada and want customized or made to measure stays or corsets? Or Perhaps, a waistcoat? I still have a roll of coutil and two months of workroom availability left, so hit me up!

Finally listing my fully boned stay sample.
I'd like to see this go for 800 as I'd normally charge 1200+ for fully boned stays. Plus insured shipping.
These are probably some of my best work and got me several jobs.
Closed measurements are 33”B and 26.5”W

All of my materials will now come from Canadian stores and suppliers! This is entirely possible, though most of the materials are coming from Europe or Asia. While my material costs may go up a bit, they will be supporting other small Canadian businesses.

Yes, I know, I closed commissions last year and had no plans on restarting. Unfortunately due to various complications in my personal life, having to cancel my outstanding US orders, and moving into the second most expensive city in Canada, I am taking some more for a limited time!

I will ship to Canada and the UK! I typically do not ship elsewhere, but I am happy to look into the feasibility!
* for more advanced corsets and tailoring, I prefer to do mockups and fittings. If you are in the GTA, I may be able to arrange an in person fitting!

Trying on my stays from @cloakandtailor.bsky.social, finally! Terrible bedroom mirror pic (the work deserves better) but I'll get nicer ones someday.

By the way, I will reply to ALL client emails that I receive. If you don’t hear from me within a week, try sending a follow up! Unfortunately gmail spam filtering is very (and often unhelpfully) rigorous, and I may have missed it!
