Thank you for visiting Sue's Old Fashions. I'm a reenactor myself, and have participated in several different historical eras. I began making uniforms for members of my unit who did not sew, and have continued to offer my services to other reenactors. I make unit-specific uniforms appropriate for French & Indian War, Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War, as well as civilian shirts, vests and coats for the men, and underpinnings, corsets and gowns for the ladies. I have made gowns appropriate for impressions of colonial, Regency and Jane Austin events, as well as civil war hoop skirts and wild west bustle gowns, as well as a few medieval and renaissance outfits.
On this site you will see some of the items and outfits I have made in the past, separated into the different time frames (click the buttons on the left).
Since all of my work is custom, many of the the photos are representations of the type of items I am willing to make. If you have a particular idea or pattern for an item you do not see here, please feel free to contact me, since I enjoy making new and interesting clothing to order. The Contact Us page provides a link to a measurements page, which you can either print, fill out and mail to me, or fill out on line and e-mail to me.
