Ever popular cloaks...

My cloaks seem to be growing in popularity with every month that passes, which is very pleasing since it means that I've got the design and price about right! Last week I sent out 3 custom made cloaks, 2 of them to the same person. They've arrived safely and she's delighted with them - I received an email the morning after delivery to say that she couldn't decide which to wear first which is a lovely dilemma to have caused.

Her first choice, a dark red fleece with a camel coloured lining...


And her second, emerald fleece with a cerise lining...


As you can see they're quite different to each other but both make lovely cloaks, what would you chose if you were having one made yourself?

Catching up - some pictures of my dresses on real people (not on my mannequin for once!)

I realised today that I didn't share with you some of the photos I received from a customer of two of my custom made bridesmaids dresses being worn on 'The Big Day', so this a blog post to rectify that immediately!

You may not remember the dresses appearing on my blog when they were made, but they were bridesmaids dresses 'with a difference' in that they featured the same material but were designed to match each girls style and personality. The original blog posts are here and here.

And the pictures from on the day...

There's not much I can say really, other than that I think they looked beautiful (beautiful models and a glorious day must take some credit too!) and looking back at these pictures is making me happy and proud of my past work!
