Timeless Dresses

In 2011 I launched my first collection collection of made to measure womenswear since then it's been a pleasure to make thousands of bespoke garments for various special events and weddings across the globe. I enjoyed curating the finest organic cotton and Liberty prints - browse my previous collections below.

For 13 years I designed clothing with silhouettes of by gone eras and dancing in mind, a full circle dress or skirt made a lovely addition to a sustainable summer wardrobe, ideal for vintage themed events or 50s style weddings. Below are some of my bestselling collections of ultra feminine, full circle skirts & dresses which had flattering sweetheart necklines, nipped in waists, midi lengths & pockets. Each garment was ethically made in my cosy home studio in the UK, my made to measure ensured a wonderful fit for all, as reflected in customer reviews.

MADE TO MEASURE

My popular made to measure service was complementary and only required 3 simple measurements - ensuring a flattering, feel good  fit for all.

I believe in the power of drafting my own patterns and avoiding ‘standard’ size guides. Making each garment upon receipt of the order also equates to less waste, limited editions also ensured each piece was more unique, ideal for every day glamour or extra special occasions!

ORGANIC COTTON & PRINTS BY LIBERTY LONDON 

Over the last 13 years, it's been brilliant to see more organic & sustainable materials become available. My collections contained no synthetic, toxic 'poly' plastic fibres, only natural pure cotton that is compostable / ocean safe. Organic pure cotton thread was used in the sewing machines, gift wrapping & packaging was also zero plastic. Browse eco-conscious material I highly recommend here.

 ETHICALLY STITCHED TO LAST IN SCOTLAND

Like many other eco-conscious creatives and customers, I am concerned about the harrowing impact fast and fleeting fashion trends have on our planet and peoples lives. So my designs prioritised our planet, quality over quantity, and the classic, vintage inspired silhouettes that never go out of style.

Collection update:

Please note, my sewing order book is officially closed. Only limited quantities of each collection shown here were made, showcased by lovely customers in the gallery.

 

Be sure to join the mailing list, so I can let you know if / when I have a new limited edition collection available to pre-order. In the seasonal newsletter, I share my paintings and occasional articles that highlight other artisan clothing designers whilst attempting to unpick the complexities of designing and shopping for a sustainable capsule wardrobe that’s ‘Stitched to last’.
