DRESSES DESIGNED BY SUZIE VISIT OUR WEBSITE: http://MajesticVelvets.com Royal Coffers
"Look what a wardrobe is here for thee!" ~The Tempest ~ Shakespeare
Royal Coffers is a seasonal business, so here are some guidelines:
HIGH PEAK: July August September October During High Peak pricing is highest and we are the busiest so dresses are more expensive and limited (though we do our best to keep up with the demand and never overbook). MID SEASON: January February March April May June During Mid Season pricing is medium, wait time is not excessive. LOW SEASON: November December During Low Season my pricing is super, super low and is the best time to get a great deal.
SHIPPING: Shipping can always be combined. We always prefer UPS. Their tracking system is great, but sometimes slightly more costly. If you need to have your package shipped via US Postal Service, we can do that, but we have had problems with tracking and timing. Our shipping fees reflect our environmental standards because most of our boxes are made from 95% recycled materials and are more expensive.
COMBINED SHIPPING: We can combine shipping. It is $20 for the first costume, $5 for each additional, $5 for each hoop skirt. Chemises, poets shirts, belts, hats and beads ship free unless more than four are ordered, then it is $1 each. Ebay should automatically update the fees after multiple purchase order. There is a seller's discount box on Paypal that you may use if the automation doesn't work, or email me and I'll update the invoice after your purchase.
TO UPGRADE SHIPPING on an already placed order:
Go to Paypal.com and click “send money” and send money to
Falconsoar@sbcglobal.net
$20 for one costume
$30 for two costumes
$35 for three costumes
$40 for four costumes
$45 for five costumes
OVERSEAS SHIPPING: We do ship overseas. However, tracking and insurance are NOT AVAILABLE for overseas shipping. It is at your risk and we cannot guarantee or insure the delivery unfortunately.
CALIFORNIA SHIPPING: Shipping is $10 for the first item and $1 for each additional. Do not upgrade shipping because UPS Ground guarantees overnight shipping to Southern California and 2 days to Central and Northern California.
CHANGES: Fabrics can be exchanged upon request as long as we carry the color. We can leave off trim, change sleeve style from pearled to slashed and vice-versa.
FABRIC: We only use our own fabrics and trims.
RUSH ORDERS: RUSH orders are available, but please keep in mind that we make these from scratch and that sometimes there are unexpected delays which we regret terribly, especially on RUSH orders. We can't rush special orders or changed orders. If you want a rush order, it is best to order and send me your measurements asap. YOU MUST UPGRADE TO 2ND DAY AIR FOR RUSH ORDERS.
RETURNS:
IF YOU WOULD LIKE A REFUND, EXCHANGE OR ALTERATION,
PLEASE SHIP TO:
ROYAL COFFERS
22682 SPRINGMIST DR
MORENO VALLEY CA 92557
with a detailed note on what you would like for us to do. Include your name, return address, phone number and email address, user id and item number are helpful too.
EMAIL ORDERS: We do not take email orders. It is not just because it is against Ebay rules, but that email orders are a very difficult form of order for us. They are confusing and easy for us to make mistakes. Please do not request an email or phone order, even if it is a large order. I can set up orders on Ebay or relist a number of auctions if you need several. But it must go through Ebay or our website or our records invariably get confusing.
IN SHOP LIMITATIONS:
We do not allow pick-ups or fittings. One reason we offer low, low prices is that we don't have a store and we don't pay extra people to accommodate in shop customers.
SIZE CHART
 SIZING:
These costumes are designed for a super easy fit. The elastic waist on the skirt and the side lacing
bodice give a wide range of sizing. FOR WOMEN simply MEASURE YOUR BUST (NOT BRA SIZE AND NOT UNDER BUST)
AND WAIST for a perfect fit. The dresses I make range in sizes from 22" bust to 70" bust. (There is an
additional fabric fee of $20.00 for measurements of 60" and over). The skirt is 47" long and serged at
the bottom and will need to be hemmed. We can hem for a small fee. OR you can email your skirt length
measurement and we can cut and serge it to that length. Measure from waist to floor for skirt length. We
add two inches if hoop skirt will be worn.
FOR MEN'S MEASURE CHEST AND WAIST AND INSEAM. Often waist and chest measurements will differ greatly from
jean or jacket sizes. That is why it is important to send measurements and not sizes. However, if you have
difficulty with measuring and you want to send sizes, that is fine as long as you let me know it is
clothing sizes and not actual measurements. :)
GETTING MEASUREMENTS TO US ONCE YOU PURCHASE:
It is the very best to send the measurements in the notes box when you pay with Paypal. OR you can email them to me at Falconsoar@sbcglobal.net, but make sure to include item number, user id and your first and last name. OR if you send your payment in with a money order or check include a note with measurements.
PAYMENT:
We accept Paypal, personal check and money order. We accept Visa and Mastercard via Paypal.
Send payment to:

MORENO VALLEY CA 92557 Make payable to: Suzie Hemphill
SERGED SEAM:
Things that cause delays:
Two email addresses.
Checks or money orders sent without user ID number, contact info or measurements.
Special orders, changes to orders, changes to styles, changes to measurements.
Order with no measurements.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:
The shipping boxes we use are made from 85% recycled materials.
We do not package with plastic or paper (so if you require it, please email me and we will accommodate).
We use all Compact Fluorescent Lighting. (They screw in just like a regular light bulb).
We recycle paper, and use paper from 30% recycled materials. We rely on UPS to ship our fabrics as much as possible to avoid sending our vehicles. We have organic cotton peasant dresses and chemises and will add more in the future.
HUMAN ISSUES:
Our seamstresses and employees are VERY IMPORTANT TO US AND OUR CUSTOMERS. They are paid per dress and make an excellent income. They work fast and they work very hard and are well compensated. Cutting employee wages is not a way that we keep costs down.
Hi and welcome to my Me Page. My name is Suzie Hemphill (I'm on the left in above picture) and I'm glad you stopped by.
GO TO MOMBEE ON EBAY FOR GORGEOUS AND AFFORDABLE HEADPIECES THAT MATCH MY DRESSES
The business side of things. All of the Renaissance ~ Elizabethan ~ Medieval clothing that you see on my auctions are created and sewn by me and my assistant seamstresses (whom I love!!). I only use very high quality fabric (one of the best part of this business is buying yards and yards of exquisite fabric and then letting it roll out across my cutting board like a red carpet). All of the seams are either serged, machine sewn, or hand sewn. By the way "serged" or "overlocked" is the stitch from a sewing machine that uses four spools and looks like the edges sewn on store bought clothes. I have a B.A. from UC Riverside in art history with emphasis on the Renaissance (of course). So I'm constantly looking for new ideas and ways to make my costumes more and more authentic by studying Renaissance portraits. I'm always interested in your comments on the fit and quality when you purchase my costumes. Emails always welcome. Thank you to all of my clients I greatly appreciate your business! And I would love it if you sent me pictures of yourself in one of my costumes!! (email or mail) My clothes on Ebay are modeled either by me, my wonderful clients, my friends, my dressmakers form, or my anorexic mannequin who is even more flat chested than me making it extremely difficult to demonstrate the "push-up" effect and "breast exposure" of the bodices. The pictures on this ME Page are from *YOU* my clients who were kind enough to send me you pictures.
