On the 30th January I posted that I was designing a new gown named after Clara Bow. Well Clara is now finished and her first appearance was at a photo-shoot at the gorgeous Gaddens House in the New Forest on Wednesday. Gaddens is one of those special wedding venues which just drips with a vintage feel. I will post more images soon but first here is Clara modelled by Hannah in a rather loving embrace with a dashing groom!



Back to work and how better to start than with a birthday celebration! My lovely assistant, Hannah's birthday and news of her engagement over Christmas as well. My neice also announced her engagement so what a great way to start the new year. Our first bride this year is getting married in South Africa and so we have been working hard sewing on crystals, sequins and beads as she needs her dress by the end of January. Not too much pressure! This morning have already measured another lucky girl who is getting married in a tree house. Thought this was such a great idea. She is going for a slightly unusual design and cant wait to start that. I also have just had an order for a lovely faux fur wrap which will be made in a frothy fur-so snuggly.
