LOTS OF FANTASTIC BARGAINS FOR THE NEW YEAR
Dear Customers
It is a busy time for Christmas projects, and Party outfits!
The colder temperatures are here and sewers are looking for cosy fabrics - brushed cottons, baby needlecord and corduroy, wools and tweeds, as well as heavier weight ponte jereys. There are coat weight wools/wool mixes, and the ever-popular boiled wool ( black, brown, teal, raspberry). For added warmth, and a bit of luxury, there is a gorgeous black fur for collar and cuffs, which also makes a beautiful jacket, wrap or gilet.
With the imminent party season, sparkles and sequins are in demand, as well as beautiful brocades, velours, velvet, devore velvets, for those special events and celebrations at Christmas and New Year. You won't find them on the High Street either!
You can see examples in the photographs below.
Weddings, Civil Ceremonies and Special Events
The summer has been a busy time for Weddings, and now Spring/Summer 2026 and beyond are the focus for that uniqe dress / outfit, for that Special Day, or upcoming event.
More and more Brides, Mothers of Bride and Groom ( it's a big day for them too), are turning towards having a bespoke gown or outfit made, for a perfect fit, and a one-off design - just for them. Something special, different and unique - thereby avoiding the horror of a guest arriving in your outfit!
Phone or pop in, for some help with ideas, information, and to see what fabrics are available to help create the look you are thinking about.
Give yourself plenty time too; dressmakers are busy, and sometimes fabrics need to be ordered.
