[MR] "Elizabethian" costumes needed

[Kerri Martinsen]

Got an Elizabethan dress or doublet hanging around in May?  Wanna have
it earn you some money?

I am looking for court costumes for our production of Giselle in May
of this year.  We are renting the package, but the artistic director
doesn't like the look of the court costumes that come with the package
so I am hunting for new ones we can rent:

This is a link to photos of the existing costumes.  We will be using
the red set for the Duchess & Duke. The rest of the court needs to not
"overpower" them.  I am hoping for doublets and venetions for the guys
(we need to have pants on our guys, not tights) and dresses for the
ladies.

I am looking for 4 "couple" costumes - 4 men & 4 women - in jewel
tones if possible, but colors can be flexible.  The court needs to pop
out of the rest of the people as "different" and right now they blend
right in.

The production runs from May 16-23, 2013 (6 performances) and I would
need the costumes from May 1 until May 30.  I am willing to pay a
rental fee for the costumes as well as return them having been
drycleaned.  The costumes are needed in Raleigh, NC.  I would be
willing to travel some to pick up or pay for postage.

Size:  I am looking for up to "large dancer" size.  In human terms
that is around a size 40 chest, maybe a 42.  For women, a sz 12-14 is
as big as I think I will need.

Please let me know if you have anything that we can talk about!  Email
and Photos are awesome!
