As an advocate for ethical (zero plastic) fashion, I taught myself how to draft patterns and constructed timeless 1940s/50s inspired garmentsI prioritised artisan craftsmanship and provided a made to measure service. Below are just a few of the customer photos and testimonials I have received over the years. Please note in 2023 I pressed pause on the sewing aspect of my creative business.

Just wanted to let you know that the waistcoat arrived today all the way from Mull and my hubby was like a kid at Christmas!

 

It fits and he is delighted. 

 

Expect another order in the future as he fancies one in Harris tweed too. We are off to Lewis/Harris in March next year!

 ETHICALLY STITCHED TO LAST ON THE SCOTTISH ISLAND OF MULL

​

Don’t hesitate to buy this skirt. Both it and Melissa are truly wonderful. Melissa reached out to check sizing and am so glad she did. We tweaked my order based on her feedback and the skirt fits like a glove - she even made sure to check when it was needed as we live in the US and shipping delays are real!. The final product even got the seal of approval from my teenage daughter - now that’s a win!! I cannot wait to wear it. Thank you!

I love love love my dress! Ordered to wear to the Last Night of the Proms, I got SO many compliments at the Royal Albert Hall that I started to feel like a celebrity!

Amanda

Very good quality and well made item, thank you

Danielle

I purchased this skirt to wear to my British Citizenship ceremony recently and it was exactly as I hoped it would be. I got so many compliments about it on the day, then when I posted pics of me wearing it online, so many people wanted to know where it was from. The service is impeccable, too - it was quite an urgent order and  ensured I had it in time. I thoroughly recommend this store.

Anna
