Linda Blankenship has been a seamtress for over 40 years, and now she specializes in fantasy garments from celtic, ren to lord of the rings elven dresses. Her Renaissance gowns are a two-piece with chemise with arm treatments. She recently opened a website to showcase her wonderful garments called GLORY GOWNS. Very popular in Ren faires and weddings you can order it in custom fabric in many different versions. I am the proud owner of two Linda originals that she generously endorsed, one is the red one you see above (yep that’s me) and the other one I used it in my musical premier in USA last year in Faerieworlds festivals and it was made in deep purple velvet with even my custom logo embroidered in the bodice (I shall post some close ups of it in the gallery soon). I can tell you it’s of the highest quality and put lots of love in detail, beautiful and heavy velvet. Linda also makes replica of several “Lord of the rings” inspired gowns, and aside of her commissions she also holds several auctions of “ready to wear” gowns in her ebay store from time to time. (Glory gowns ebay store). You can also make a personal inquiry to order a custom dress at her e-mail glory.gowns@yahoo.com
