Hello Carol -
What a marvelous website. There is so much information contained within and the stories are wonderful.
Shopping for clothes these days has become more a labor of frustration than anything else. As you know, I grew up in the era of a fully lined suit, made of a light-weight wool that draped beautifully but wore like iron. Sadly, I feel these days may be over in ‘my little neck of the woods’ as finding these garments are nothing short of impossible. What has happened to fashion? Beautifully tailored, lined and pleated slacks, have been forced aside for hip hugging, bell bottoms made of flimsy stretchy fabric. This was not the way our mother taught us to dress.
You are carrying on a great tradition and I applaud you. Continue on with your mission - you are a tremendous asset to the fashion world.
Carol
Your website and blog are interesting and informative and have demystified some of the aura surrounding Saville Row. It makes tailoring accessible. You have made everyday outfits and clothes for special occasions for me over the last few years and I have come to appreciate not only your tailoring expertise but other aspects of the bespoke experience. It is good to see you sharing your experience and knowledge on your website. It is thoroughly enjoyable to work with you and all the items you have made for me hold a cherished place in my wardrobe.
