The purple 💜 is finished, apart from final waistband, which will be done once it has a new home.
If you all remember, I did say this one would be at the bargain price of £175 including UK postage. That still stands. We all start somewhere, so we have to have outfits available for those just starting out too.
Size 12/14 suitable for 14.2hh to 16hh

Another proud dress mum day xx

Did a little more work on the starter outfit. Now waiting for some trim to arrive. I love how its taking shape, but will still be an affordable outfit for someone starting out in concours d'elegance.

07/09/2021

Putting together a quick low cost starter outfit. I know not everyone has £400 + to spend on a custom couture outfit, and I feel I should make a few accessible to the newcomers. This one is just getting underway. Size 12, suitable for a 14.2hh to 15.2hh.
Will update as the outfit progresses.
It will stay to a budget of £175, including postage.

Working on a Japonisme inspired outfit for a lovely young lady. Almost there

31/05/2021

So, as well as the commissions I am currently working on, I thought I would venture into boys wear, as boys do concours d'elegance too, and it's not always right to have military outfits on little boys, they would not have worn them when getting dressed up in their finery.
This is going to be fun. The grey is an age 9-10 and the brown heavy velvet is an age 7-8. Stay tuned.
