I'm in a hurry, what can I get quickly?

Choose either Hunter Green Crushed Velvet, Brown Liquid Velvet or Black Cotton and then pick up the phone and call 817-429-1566 between 11 AM and 8 PM Central time.

Remember that Ginger is sometimes away at a Faire and it may take "a wee bit" for her to get back to you.


What size tights do I need? What size Velvet Dress?

Faire Pair tights are cut generously with long inseams. Medium, Large and X-Large tights fit up to a 36 inch inseam.

Ginger has developed and refined her dress patterns for over 8 years. They are not, however, a perfectly tailored garment. Bodacious? No problem! The bodice part of the dress is tight, supportive even. In fact, half of the girls just skip their bra.

Ginger's Size Chart will help you determine what size tights or velvet dress you need.


I'd like to try on some tights or a velvet dress? Where is your store?

Ginger doesn't have a "store" in the brick and morter sense. The address in Arlington is for phone and mail orders only.

If you want to try on some tights or a velvet dress before you buy, you will need to visit the Faire Pair booth at one of the Renaissance Faires on Ginger's schedule. Ginger also has additional colors and exotic prints at her booth that are not available through her web site.


Can I get footed tights?

Faire Pair tights are NOT footed!

As the soles of the feet in footed tights typically wear through quite quickly it is strongly recommended that you let socks take the abuse. Since Faire Pair tights fit up to a 36 inch inseam, there is usually enough length in the leg to pull down over your foot and hide your socks.

If you really, really, must have them, footed tights can be made. However, be prepared to pay an extra fee as these will be truly custom tights; both your exact inseam and shoe size are required. Please email Ginger first if you want to order footed tights.


How do I take care of my tights? My velvet dress?

Cold water wash your tights using any regular laundry detergent. Line dry only.

Velvet dresses can be machine washed in warm or cold water. Line dry only. Wash alone (best) or with like colors the first time since the color may "bleed" slightly.

Be careful when using nail polish remover or other products of that nature around your tights or velvet dresses; nylon and velvet tights and dresses can be dissolved by products containing acetate! Nylon and acetate are components in many nail polishes, especially those that offer extra strength for weak nails. Nail polish remover that is strong enough to remove these polishes will also dissolve tights made of nylon and acetate.


My tights stick when I put them on. How do I prevent this?

If you are sweaty or fresh from the show, powder up! Yes, applying baby powder will absorb moisture and your tights will slide on easier. Then work them up bit by bit. Don't forget to straighten the seams once you have your tights on.


How can I prevent my tights from sagging?

It sounds obvious, but people sometimes forget to pull them up. Go ahead and pull those tights up, even if the waistband is above your natural waist. You can always roll the waistband down if necessary. If the legs are too long, you can turn them under at the bottom. You want a smooth, tight fit for your tights. No saggy tushies, please.


What is "shiney hiney" and how do I prevent it?

"Shiney hiney" is when the nap on velvet tights has been worn smooth, giving the material a shiney look. This generally happens to the seat area of tights. (Now do you understand why it's called "shiney hiney"? ) To avoid this, rotate your tights front to back on alternate wearings. Faire Pair tights have no true front or back, so be daring and wear them with the tag in front on occasion.


My tights have a hole in them. What now?

Please return the clean tights along with $7 US to cover shipping, and Faire Pair tights will be mended for free. If the tights are not from Faire Pair, they will not be mended. Don't forget to launder the tights first! Dirty tights will be returned without repair.


What is the difference between my "billing address" and my "shipping address?"

Your billing address is where you receive your credit card statements. Your shipping address is where Ginger will send your order.
