About She Saw Red:
SheSawRed is an award-winning one-woman costuming adventure operated by Andi Young-Newton from NW Ohio. Corsetry, costuming and custom formal and clubwear are commonly found dancing out of SheSawRed's studio.

Custom orders - How it works:
We have a consultation.
We meet in person [or online] to discuss what you want. Measurments are taken, drawings are made, we talk about materials. A deadline is set, if there is one.

We go shopping. Yes, you buy the materials. All of them. You can pay me half of the projected cost up-front to cover materials, we go shopping an actual store, or stuff is ordered online and sent to my studio.

I often run out of something, so I tend to ask for a percentage up-front anyway- to cover incidental costs. Anything you pay that is not used for materials will be subtracted from the final cost.

If I have materials in stock, they will be part of my initial price quote. I try to keep some things like in stock because they are cheaper in bulk quantities - and I use them often. If I run out of these things, or you want special sizes, colors or finishes, you will buy them in the quantity that you need before I start your order. If there is extra, they are absorbed into my stock and the cost is taken out of your total.

If you want a Busk in your corset, it will have to be ordered - I do not keep them in stock. I think they're a ripoff, but some folks appreciate the authenticity.

Pricing:
I'm reasonable. Contact me for my rates!

Corset pricing:
A basic overbust with steel boning is $200. An underbust is $150. Little things like inserting a busk, modesty panel,beading, trim, ruffles, bling, buckles, piping and inserting extra [decorative] lacing will naturally add to the cost.

Q&A . ________________________________
What can you make?
The short answer is: Whatever you want.

Bring it to me on a bar napkin or in your sketchbook. Show me examples of what inspires you. Is it from a movie or a comic book? Bring me what you already have, and we can make it into something better.

Can you teach me how to sew?
No. I am self-taught, so I'm sure my methods are completely unorthodox and shouldn't be passed on. :P
