New Dresses

I'm still working on the red and leopard print dress but in the meantime here are some new dresses we've created for party season from vintage fabrics.

Dress Collars

Before the excitement of the fayre I set about making dress collars to wear with the little black dress or a simple tee. Here they are starting with the jewelled velvet cocktail collars, to monogrammed collars in ballet pink with your initials embroidered into them and lastly vintage cotton shirt style collars.
They all make that little black dress a tad more interesting and are mostly unique made from vintage dress fabrics.

AVAILABLE INDIVIDUALLY OR IN SETS AT OUR SHOP

Friday Dress

Here's is Fridays dress. It's not quite finished but is what you would call 'photo ready'. I was so proud of my zip finishing the other day that I want everything to be wonderful inside.

My Mum also gave me some great advice ...... 'never buy a car on a Friday'  because people rush on Friday's and don't do a thorough job. I think this is when they used to make cars in a day?

May 17th Green Spring Dress

It was a gorgeous day today in the country with plenty of sunshine and everything looking a vibrant bright green. Typically I was inside sewing dresses until tea time but managed a long walk with my spaniel who had decided to be the bully of the lane by barking (and dribbling) on a poodle!

This dress had been made for me by Anna and I had left it unfinished until now, I just needed to add the ruffle sleeves and the detchable bow to complete the dress. Anna is a first class sewer and a very good friend who helps me with the dresses making sure they are perfect, so this is a collaboration today.

The fabric used for the dress is a vintage 60's acetate screen print with a satin binding.
