You wouldn't happen to know an online place that does this by any chance would you?  |

 I do
I make lingerie myself, but depending on all the details, what you want, fabric choice etc I would give you my honest opinion as to wether I could create items for you, as I wouldn't want to promise I could and not deliver it as you wanted, as I am a new start. Have been making clothing for the last 4 years only lingerie soley in last year. But feel free to have a look at what I have made to give you an idea of my skills etc... and if you still your still interested we could chat further.
If I didn't feel I could make exactly what you wanted I'd be happy to recommend other who may be able to do so! As its all about getting the gift right! Not in it for the sale!
Also if I may ask where roughly in the world are you as I'm in the UK, just for thoughts on sourcing fabrics etc.

Ahh quite far from here then lol.
Still very doable via good commincation. Well sizes, a rough idea of what you would like. As your so far away I'd ask you to source your fabric, only because being so far away I cant meet to show let you have a look or feel at any I might choose. So all you would need to do it do some sourcing on the net, get yourself some samples and when you find one you like you could let me know the contact details etc. Have a budget prepared, as the fabric you choose would factor into that.
That sounds like a good starting point? You can email me any time. E-mail is on the website, not sure I'm allowed to post it on this. But if you have any problems with that email you can let me know, as it can be very picky-super high security, not sure why but hotmail aren't sure either lol.

So I recently commissioned Petitebelle for a few pieces and here are my impressions:
| Quote: |
Over the years the missus has built up not only an impressive toy collection but quite the lingerie catalog as well. As such, it's become increasingly more difficult to surprise her with a new piece or kit. The same is said of her if she desires to buy herself something nice. She does know what she wants and enjoys having it exactly as she imagined it. For some time she contemplated an item but it wasn't quite right.
The bed was too soft,
the porridge was too warm.
And that's where Love as I find came in to make the bed and the porridge...just perfect.
I originally made contact with her though a forum in which she introduced herself as a seamstress and in my time of need, I did not hesitate to contact her with my nitty gritty specifications.
I have to say the entire experience was amazing. From the customer service to the end product, I have nothing bad to say at all so the following might sound like I'm blowing smoke up her ass but believe me, she earned that smoke.
The process:
The greatest thing about it is that she kept me updated on everything. She drew up sketches that I approved, then went shopping for materials. When I looked at the samples she sent I was able to choose the exact ones I wanted. She then redid the sketches but adding the textile on it for me to get an even better idea of the product. She then went to work, updating me frequently on the progress as well as consulting for questions regarding small details (seams, color of the border, size of those special little requested details).
The Final Product:
That exceeded all my expectations. I ordered three pieces and all of them are simply perfect. It was such an awesome feeling to see what I had imagined come to fruition (I doubt she can work up that VW van full of cheerleaders I imagined though). The pieces have that quality of a major manufacturer yet have the finesse of a seamstress. You look at them and you think to yourself it had to have been made by a machine, it's too nice, but then I remember it was made to my specifications and the details show it all too well.
The Shipping:
I had to highlight this as this was the chocolate covered cherry with sprinkles on it...on top of an already giant chocolate sauce/caramel covered sundae. First of all, she is located in the UK and I'm in Canada. Already I was expecting quite a long wait but 4 business days was all it took. Turns out as there are strikes and problems with Royal Mail, she paid a little extra to have it delivered to me on time. I greatly appreciated that. Then it came in. The package itself was more properly wrapped than any Christmas present I ever gave the missus. Each piece individually wrapped in purple (she previously asked me what color combinations would be best) tissue paper with a great big bow on it. Each came with a handmade tag with her logo. The box also contained a letter with her card, a small letter with thanks and instructions, as well as the original sketches for us to keep. Now that my friend, is how you ship a package.
I can't thank her enough nor can I recommend her enough. You got an idea you've been meaning to have made? Now's the time baby.

Exactly what I was thinking...Camo g-string?? Maybe we can add a pair of combat boots. 
To each his own. Awesome job by the seamstress either way. But dude, come on man, nobody cares if its for you or your boyfriend. But hey, maybe I am wrong. But it doesn't look like I am the first one to see this.  Honestly, nobody gives a damn. |
