Occupation: Housewife, Mum, Swimming teacher and wannabe Dressmaker

“I’ve been into vintage style since my teens, went to University with rolled up jeans and a roll quiff, spent my 20’s rocking the 40s and doing the then (smaller) scene in London. I dallied with the 30s in my 30’s, had a Deco style wedding, and now I’m in my 40’s and still loving the glamour and style of bygone years.

I love the glamour and the eccentricity of it all! I want my clothes and home to reflect my personality and my love of style. I like to be different, I always have and I love it when people compliment the dresses I have made.”
