She is very efficient. She assembles them well. She ships very fast. Only complaints from me are the cheap material she uses and the rick-rack she uses for rank braid. I bought from her early last year, then decided to learn how to make them myaelf from the real deal.

You forgot the hem's..never top stitching and I noticed they now offer Katarra braid as an upgrade. and you can request avocado double knit as a upgrade along with a zipper if you choose...The pants are basic pants with a cuff and you can upgrade to a pant with a zipper and sparkly fabric..
My only problem is for the price you pay for their tunic you could buy original braids, insignias and fabric for way less...If your going to charge that much for a Tunic or pants at least get the fabrics and notions right.. I'm still confused on their upgrades...You pay $99 for a command tunic....whats the price if you upgrade to Avocado double knit, or sparkly pants or Katarra braid????? |

I was curious about the additional upgrade costs too, so I asked. Ill let you know.
Tony, you make a good point about being able to buy all the original braids, insignias and fabric for way less. I would buy everything myself, but I cant sew, so I need to rely on someone to make these uniforms for me. Trust me, if I had any sewing skills Id be making all my uniforms. It would save me the headache and stress of deciding which costumer to choose. Zapp Brannigan

So I got response.
No extra charge for the avocado color. Katarra8s braids are 25.00 and hidden zipper is 20.00. So in total I'd be paying $144 if I won the auction, $160 if I use Buy It Now. I still think it is a great deal and the average person isn't going to know the difference. I will hold off for now as Im sure shes not going anywhere. Zapp Brannigan

Yeowch..Stephanie has gone apeshit with her stuff. Well for my 2 cents...mine come with Kathy's or Joe's braids at no extra cost. So if you win a auction of mine at say $80 dollars (Hi Zap!) you get braid of your choice for free. Great part is..I don't use nasty crap fabrics. I have however switched from using 100% wool jersey to 70/30 cotton wool jersey. I have had nearly every customer who bought wool wraps off of me complain how itchy, hot and chaffing they get with wear of over 5 minutes. Not to mention rashes...I have no cure for those, sorry guys. Ok I tossed in my 5 cents..so much for 2 cents worth!
 Soon I am going to release my own insignia and braids, don't worry guys no ric-rac crap from me.   |

We spent the money recently and got some of the "correct" collar fabric. Interesting stuff. Great stretch, but I can see how this stuff counld lose it's stretch over time like the originals did.

The thing about that springweave is that it does fray. I got some samples from two places. One didn't have black and sent me orange sequnces but the end didn't have any, and was pretty long to were I could make a collar. I know,"AN ORANGE COLLAR!?"
