I made a Jane Seymour costume from the musical ‘Six’ as a favour for friend. It was a real labour of love and I won’t be making another. Here’s some photos, she had a front row seat and was over the moon with all the compliments she had.

This amazing song is the first release by Redwood City UK of which my grandson Edward Davoile is a member (He’s the one in the middle). It is so catchy and memorable. I do hope it gets the coverage it deserves.

I made these costumes 20 yrs ago and I’m so happy to see that My Fair Lady is still winning gold medals at festivals in them. The dancers are from Three Spires Dance School.

Saw Hairspray at Kilworth House on Saturday with Liam Doyle playing Corny Collins. It was fantastic, so much better than the film, well worth a visit.

I was asked by Allesley to make an Encanto Troupe and couldn’t say no, it’s one of my favourites.
I bought some of the difficult costumes, added petticoats and resized and embellished them to keep costs down. I created Cougar, Felix, Antonio, Bruno, Pepa and 12 Villagers. Can’t wait to see the dance on Thursday

Really looking forward to seeing my costumes on stage next Thursday. From what I’ve seen and heard, it’s going to be a fantastic show. One of the highlights will be seeing Alfie dance (he’s the little boy in the middle of my cover photo) He’s Lizzie’s son and June Pughe’s grandson. He’s been training in Amsterdam and is now applying to major companies. As you can see, he looks amazing, a ballet star of the future I’m sure!

I was so thrilled to see the costumes I made on the TV in the Platinum Jubilee Pageant yesterday, made all the stress and hard work worthwhile. Thanks to Trudi for the designs and Kathi from Imagineer Productions for trusting me with the job

I am currently working on outfits for the Queen’s Jubilee Pageant and will post more details and pictures later. I feel very lucky to be asked to do this, as they will be seen by people all over the world. I’m sure the Queen is going to be thrilled to see what Imagineering have planned. You may have seen the Corgis already- they’re delightful and so realistic.

Here are some photos of Grace Burrows from Jordan School of Dance who has just become World Champion in The Dance World Cup with her ‘Memories’ number from Cats the Musical.
She was wearing the Grizabella costume I created for her and danced so movingly and impeccably, it’s no wonder she won! Well Done Grace 🎉🎉🌟🌟
