There's been a lot going on here, bubbling away under the surface for what feels like forever...but the shoots are finally breaking through to the light...
I'm so exited and pleased to share these photos of the beautiful Debbie Lewis in the Millais Gown I made a few years back. Due to various circumstances, we never got to shoot it on its original owner, which was a real shame, and its been in a bag here ever since....until I was contacted by Debbie who was interested in having her, she came for a try on and even though it was not made to fit her, its a tiny bit long, it felt like it was made for her and I'm so pleased she has a new home and is being worn and loved.
Things don't always turn out as planed, but that doesn't mean there still can't be a happy ending.

I love making beautiful dresses, they really are nothing until they are worn and brought to life, so thank you Debbie for doing this, your photos by Sean are truly wonderful!

I really do feel these past few...many...many...months of feeling dark and underground...never ending...has allowed some much needed time to rest, redress and send out many roots that are allowing a strong and grounded based for much new growth coming through.

For those of you who may still be in the dark, hang in there, it's ok, stay there as long as you need, not all growth can bee seen above ground, but its there, the light will come.
much love,
Janice-Uptight Clothing xx
