Costume link

[lady_karelia]

ellaselenelupin, hogwartshoney, remusseverus and I were talking on IM last night about costumes. ellaselenelupin found an awesome link on German e-bay, which prompted me to do a search there. I came across one I really liked, they're professional, fairly big sized, and the prices are good. So I decided to see if they speak English, so I can recommend them. And lo and behold, they do. Got a very nice email back, really helpful and all.

So, my recommendation would be, to look at the site, describing all their clothing in great detail, in English, go here. Do not buy there because their UK prices are a good bit higher than their prices on the German site, and I was assured that they take queries in English. To order, once you know the name of the garment you're after (they're identical on both sites), go to their German site. What's best, their garments is made to measure, and I found the prices reallly reasonable.

They also sell on ebay.

EDIT: The German site does indeed mail into the US, S&P is Euro 15. All you have to do is e-mail your order to service at dornblut.de, and you can do it in English.

If you happen to have any websites you'd recommend for costumes, please leave a comment.

The only problem with ordering at the German site: no abroad shipping, at least that's what their conditions say. So, their ebay site will be the better choice; the garments bought there are shipped inside Europe.

remusseverus asked me if I could buy the garment of her choice and then send it to her, but the shipping costs for the US are really expensive. It would help to know the weight of the garments, but I doubt it's under 2kg.

Oh, I hope your London trip is not at risk.

They are nice costumes, though you really need to feel the fabric to get a sense of how good they are.

And not badly priced either. I may have to have one.

I'm so happy that everything is working out for all of you! It sounds like y'all are just going to have a blast down there. ::wee bit of jealousy:: :) I know that it's a ways off yet, but know that your poor f-list is expecting lots of pictures and details when you return!

Okay, first off. Squee at the icon - have acquired it for my own devious uses.
Squee again for the info on the websites - shall go across and have a look later today. Well done, gals.
