Does anyone accept commissions? Ds (4) has set his heart on a plum velvet coat, like Willy Wonkas, for Christmas. He describes the wonder of this outfit to me on a daily basis. I think I can get hold of the top hat, green trousers, spotty bow-tie and 'nice shiny boots', but the plum velvet coat is defeating me.
Is there anyone who could accept a commission to make such a garment? It wouldn't need to be of real dressmaking standard - it is a dressing up item (though I am confident that Ds will expect to wear it wherever we go), and I expect it could be made of velour or velveteen or something.
Why can't he want a threadbare outgrown jumper, like Charlie Buckets??!
Anyone out there who can help me? I can see that it is quite a fiddly item to make, and realise I will have to pay realistic costs.
