Twilight Zone

Just a quickie. As I was about to draw the curtains this evening, I was side-tracked by this amazing sky: What a perfect sky for the 1st day of winter and halloween. Que Michael Jackson's Thriller-style laughter....

Fasten your seatbelts...

A few posts back I showed you some pics of Jo - one of my summer brides and her dress as it was being made. I want to quickly revisit Jo and show you some more of her pictures, purely because they make me smile - she looks so relaxed and happy *sigh* :o) Before I forget, all the following pictures are courtesy of Kerpixel . Here she is walking towards the ceremony with her Dad... These next set of pictures are what I call the 'swishing series'! All systems ready... Preparing for take-off... We have lift off! Circling... And rest... A close up of the back detail  The happy couple! I will visit this wedding one more time with some cute bridesmaid shots, but I'll save those for another day.

A dress and something for the chaps...

Good morning! Today I'm going to tell you about the services of a previous client of mine, Peggy, and show you the dress I made for her to wear at her wedding a few years ago. Peggy is a textiles designer and trained at the RCA like me, although we weren't there at the same time and only met later on when she was searching for a wedding dress. Here she is wearing the dress on the day with her new husband. I love this picture, (and my apologies in advance to the photographer for no acknowledgement - whoever you are, just let me know and I'll link you to the post).  Peggy will be launching her new collection of silk neckwear this month at Handmade in Britain at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London, from 28th - 30th Oct. Silk neckwear means scarves for the ladies, and ties, scarves and cravats for the gentlemen. Here's some of Peggy's work for the chaps: All work is designed, printed and made in Britain by Peggy and she takes commissions and bespoke orders too.
