 Hi there-, I'm Bustledress.com'sproprietress, Lisa Schnapp. In my spare time I'm traveling on a quest for Edwardian and Victorian objects de' elegance with my husband, Don. I've been selling antique clothing and vintage clothes professionally since 1985 (Has it been that long already?) and been selling online since '98. My favorite eras are the Victorian and Edwardian era, but I sell Regency through 1920's items, many of which have been featured in movies such as "Sea Biscuit,""Titanic" and "Henry and June." Many are made by famous vintage designers such as "Worth," "Chanel," and "Lady Duff Gordon" among others. Many of my finds are displayed in prominent museums such as the Phoenix Art Museum and The Russian Shoe Museum (among many others), B and B's, in conservationists and Antique Clothing aficionados collections or on reenactors. I'm also a professional photographer and hairstylist, a published writer of short stories and penning my first full length novel. (Been busy!) Also, I'm a co-founder of Occasionally, I sell on Ebay, under the name "bonnet" (since 1998), and you cancheck out the glowing feedback many satisfied buyers have left. Read on to find out about the other sellers selling items here. If you are interested in selling an item directly, please email me.

Hello, I'm Claudette from Heritage Fashions on eBay... And I'm the newest staff addition to Bustledress.com to make the most beautiful Victorian reproduction fashions for discerning ladies!
I've been a designer seamstress for 30 plus years, who turned a passion to wear Victorian fashions into a career to create for discriminating clients in theatre and historical societies in 5 countries.
It is a joy to replicate an elaborate silk and brocade dress from an 1880 fashion print, or a Victorian theme movie. What can compare to the swish of an elegant ensemble complete with corset, pantalettes, bustle petticoat, hat, parasol and gloves!
When I'm in costume, it feels like a walk through a time portal onto a street of today. I enjoy making gowns for others. Countless hours of labor and yards of luxury fabric bring compliments of appreciation from each garment's new owner. As a member of a Historical Society in Virginia, there are many occasions to plan a new Victorian fashion.
If YOU desire your own spell-binding, one-of-a-kind, custom designed Victorian bustle dress made especially for you........Join me in an exciting journey back in time. Send me an email, and let's get started!

 As soon as I was able to balance myself in front of a milliner's mirror, I began trying on Edwardian hats with my mother-. A woman who believes a well-dressed woman NEVER left the house without one! Having tea parties and playing dress up was my greatest passion. Especially when it included my grandmother's Edwardian Gibson Girl hats with the whole birds on them. Truth be told, it's still my passion that fortunately, as a member of I can still indulgemy love and collecting of hats over the years. And I'm pleased to share them with you. Come indulge yourself in the finest of authentic and restored Edwardian hats available. Pour yourselfa cup of tea and get ready to turn some heads! I'm Kate, and this is my collection...

 Hi, I worked as a Hollywood actress and stuntwoman in the 70's and 80's back when they wearing great costumes and not CGI. You've probably seen me in many movies and not even realized it. I became a Master status costumer and my hobby is recreating Hollywood costumes and creating my own original designs for competition. I was in "Login's Run" and own some of the original costumes besides many others, so I know quality costumes.
