I am only accepting some custom orders for the time being. If you are interested in a custom order, please contact me. Some custom orders are manageable. Others at this point take more time than I can give. I am not accepting deposits on orders but treating them as a wish list. As soon as this changes, I will put up a notice.

Okay… Time for a shameless plug here. I have been told I need an “About me” page by my business manager. Yes, Andy I am paying attention! To both my Andys! That would be Andy, Lori and adorable little Faye in Colorado and my dear Andy the studio neighbor. Anyway, back to the subject…. Since I don’t have an about me page, Please go to the Genre Traveler site.
Painting with Fabric, The Fashions of Kristi Smart
Carma was kind enough to interview me for her online magazine.
It’s a really interesting site filled with fascinating stories and information. Definitely worthwhile taking a tour.

My beautiful brown silk embroidered coat. This coat has been sold but I will be cutting another. The contrast fabric will be different. If no one gets an order in before I cut, I will be making this a medium petite size. I have to get more pictures of it. Its an amazing fabric. Brown silk with pale blue embroidered paisley. I am posting this on Oct 4th. I will be cutting in a week. If you want it in your size, give me a holler! For a close up look at the pretty paisley, click here. Coat Detail <

My fashion designs are historically inaccurate for the hysterically irreverent. There those who make perfect reproductions suitable for historical reenactments and encampments. I leave skillful duplication to others. My joy comes from the creative process in making a one of a kind wearable piece of art.
Here you will find coats, skirts and vests. Custom Costumes in Custom sizes, Mega size Plus size, Petite size, Regular Sizes. Unisex. Fabrics, Linen, Leather and Lace. Silk, Satin, Embossed Velvet, Burnout Velvet and Brocade. Trim and Appliquéd in many fine and fancy fabrics.
Treat your self to a custom coat for the Ren Faire, Sci Fi con, Celtic faire, Highland games and Halloween. Why keep it to Talk like a pirate day, dress like a pirate! Grab the garb and wear the garb!
Browse the folk art section for Mariachi Jackets, Dia De Los Muertos art and Day of the Dead pillows. Grateful Dead fans will find an appropriate wedding pillow there. The hot rod flames and chili pepper coat would make a great stage outfit. Throw in a Skelly or two and you will have a unique stage costume.
As always, Wonderful people come in all shapes and sizses. So do my coats.

If you wish to order a custom garment, I require a set of measurements. I will be happy to email you a chart. I have developed a specialty for fitting different shapes and sizes. I have good system and a high rate of accuracy. There are always a few questions as to where you carry your weight or the accuracy of measurements. Please include your phone number along with your request so I can make sure your order is correct. I sometimes need a photograph to help visualize proportions. I respect my customers and they will be kept private. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Remember to include your phone number!
